Given number is 504
The factor tree of 504 is as follows:
504 | |||||||||||
2 | 252 | ||||||||||
2 | 126 | ||||||||||
2 | 63 | ||||||||||
3 | 21 | ||||||||||
3 | 7 | ||||||||||
504 = 2 x 252
252 = 2 x 126
126 = 2 x 63
63 = 3 x 21
21 = 3 x 7
If we write into multiples it would be 504 x 2
On splitting 252 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 126 x 2.
On splitting 126 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 63 x 2.
On splitting 63 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 21 x 3.
On splitting 21 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 3.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 504. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
