Given number is 54
The factor tree of 54 is as follows:
54 | ||||||||||
2 | 27 | |||||||||
3 | 9 | |||||||||
3 | 3 | |||||||||
54 = 2 x 27
27 = 3 x 9
9 = 3 x 3
If we write into multiples it would be 54 x 2
On splitting 27 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 9 x 3.
On splitting 9 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 3.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 54. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
