Factor Tree of 48

Given number is 48
The factor tree of 48 is as follows:

	48
2		24
	2		12
		2		6
			2		3

48 = 2 x 24

24 = 2 x 12

12 = 2 x 6

6 = 2 x 3

If we write into multiples it would be 48 x 2

On splitting 24 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 12 x 2.

On splitting 12 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 6 x 2.

On splitting 6 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 2.

Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.

• Factor Tree of 49
• Factor Tree of 50
• Factor Tree of 51
• Factor Tree of 52
• Factor Tree of 53

Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 48. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.

Splitting Numbers

We can divide the number into either of its two factors. In other words, we are looking for the numbers that when multiplied together eqaul 48. Let’s start with 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 as it results in 48 on multiplying. We will now find the factors or ancestors of split factors, just like in any family tree.

Prime Factors

Let’s take a look at 48 now and we can write as 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 and place those factors on the tree. similarly to prime numbers obtained in the first step 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 obtained here are also prime numbers and we will end up these branches.
