Given number is 5100
The factor tree of 5100 is as follows:
5100 | |||||||||||
2 | 2550 | ||||||||||
2 | 1275 | ||||||||||
3 | 425 | ||||||||||
5 | 85 | ||||||||||
5 | 17 | ||||||||||
5100 = 2 x 2550
2550 = 2 x 1275
1275 = 3 x 425
425 = 5 x 85
85 = 5 x 17
If we write into multiples it would be 5100 x 2
On splitting 2550 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1275 x 2.
On splitting 1275 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 425 x 3.
On splitting 425 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 85 x 5.
On splitting 85 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 5100. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
