Given number is 372
The factor tree of 372 is as follows:
372 | ||||||||||
2 | 186 | |||||||||
2 | 93 | |||||||||
3 | 31 | |||||||||
372 = 2 x 186
186 = 2 x 93
93 = 3 x 31
If we write into multiples it would be 372 x 2
On splitting 186 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 93 x 2.
On splitting 93 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 31 x 3.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 372. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
