Factor Tree of 56

Given number is 56
The factor tree of 56 is as follows:

	56
2		28
	2		14
		2		7

56 = 2 x 28

28 = 2 x 14

14 = 2 x 7

If we write into multiples it would be 56 x 2

On splitting 28 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 14 x 2.

On splitting 14 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 2.

Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.

• Factor Tree of 57
• Factor Tree of 58
• Factor Tree of 59
• Factor Tree of 60
• Factor Tree of 61

Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 56. 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 56. Let’s start with 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 as it results in 56 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 56 now and we can write as 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 and place those factors on the tree. similarly to prime numbers obtained in the first step 2, 2, 2, 7 obtained here are also prime numbers and we will end up these branches.
