FACTOR TREE

In addition to the upside-down division method, in order to produce the prime factorization of a composite number, we can use factor trees.

At every step, we find two factors of a composite number at one of the ends of the tree. We repeat the process until all ends are prime.

WHAT IS FACTOR TREE CALCULATOR?

Factor tree calculator,

• Produces the factor tree of a given number,
• Graphically illustrates the factor tree,
• Finds the prime factorization of the entered number and
• Computes the prime factors.

HOW TO USE THE FACTOR TREE CALCULATOR?

You can use the factor tree calculator in two ways.

• USER INPUTS

  

  You can enter a whole number to the input box and click on the "CALCULATE" button. The result and explanations appaer below the calculator

• RANDOM INPUTS

  

  You can click on the DIE ICON next to the input box. If you use this property, a random number is generated and entered to the calculator, automatically. You can see the result and explanations below the calculator. You can create your own examples and practice using this property.

• CLEARING THE INPUT BOX

  

  To check the factor tree of another number you can clear the input box by clicking on the CLEAR button under the input box.

• COPYING & DOWNLOADING THE SOLUTION

  •
