Given number is 990
The factor tree of 990 is as follows:
990 | ||||||||||
2 | 495 | |||||||||
3 | 165 | |||||||||
3 | 55 | |||||||||
5 | 11 | |||||||||
990 = 2 x 495
495 = 3 x 165
165 = 3 x 55
55 = 5 x 11
If we write into multiples it would be 990 x 2
On splitting 495 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 165 x 3.
On splitting 165 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 55 x 3.
On splitting 55 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 11 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 990. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
