Factor Tree of 68

Given number is 68
The factor tree of 68 is as follows:

	68
2		34
	2		17

68 = 2 x 34

34 = 2 x 17

If we write into multiples it would be 68 x 2

On splitting 34 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 2.

Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.

• Factor Tree of 69
• Factor Tree of 70
• Factor Tree of 71
• Factor Tree of 72
• Factor Tree of 73

Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 68. 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 68. Let’s start with 2 x 2 x 17 as it results in 68 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 68 now and we can write as 2 x 2 x 17 and place those factors on the tree. similarly to prime numbers obtained in the first step 2, 2, 17 obtained here are also prime numbers and we will end up these branches.
