Factor Tree of 78

Given number is 78
The factor tree of 78 is as follows:

	78
2		39
	3		13

78 = 2 x 39

39 = 3 x 13

If we write into multiples it would be 78 x 2

On splitting 39 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 13 x 3.

Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.

• Factor Tree of 79
• Factor Tree of 80
• Factor Tree of 81
• Factor Tree of 82
• Factor Tree of 83

Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 78. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
