Question

Sort the process of finding the factor tree of 48

• A. 6=2x3
  8=2x2x2
• B. Split 48 to 6&8
• C. 48 = 2×3×2×2×2
• D. Take number 48

Answer 1

To find the factor tree of a number , break the number to a pair of factors. Here 48 = 6 x 8
Continue the process till you get prime numbers as factors. So we get 6 = 2 x 3 and 8 = 2 x 2 x 2
And your answer is the product of all these prime factors.
i.e., 48 = 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 2
