Factor Tree of 500
How to find the Factor Tree of 500
Given number is 500
The factor tree of 500 is as follows:
| 500 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 250 | |||||||||
| 2 | 125 | |||||||||
| 5 | 25 | |||||||||
| 5 | 5 | |||||||||
500 = 2 x 250
250 = 2 x 125
125 = 5 x 25
25 = 5 x 5
If we write into multiples it would be 500 x 2
On splitting 250 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 125 x 2.
On splitting 125 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 25 x 5.
On splitting 25 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 5.
