These are all prime numbers, so are the prime factors of 36. Finally, we need to write these in index form. 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 gives us 22 x 32. Tip: technically, you could initially say 1 and 36 are factors of 36, but then you will still need to break 36 down into factors at the next step! 2 is a good factor to use if the number is even when you ...

Writing 36 as a product of its prime numbers: Firstly, 36 is even so it can be divided by 2. We can write 36 as 2 x 18. Now let’s focus on 18. 18 can be divided by 2 again. So far, we have: 2 x 2 x 9. Let’s divide up 9 into its prime factors. 9 is 3 x 3. Now we focus on all of the prime numbers on the Prime Factor Tree.

Then you continue to simplify at each level of the tree. So in this instance, you need two numbers (at least one should be a prime) that multiply to make 60. Continue this process until you are left with two remaining primes at the end of the tree. Therefore, 120 is the product of 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5. Answered by Kai P. • Maths tutor. 16143 Views.

a prime number is a number which is only divisible by itself and one e.g 2, 3 , 5, 7when writing a number (in this example 36) as a"product of its prime factors" you need to find the prime numbers which you need to multiply together to get 36. you do this by using a factor tree. when using a factor tree you divide the original number by prime ...

Essentials. 56 7 x 8 products of 56, 7 is a prime factor 2 x 4 2 is a prime factor 2 x 2 Therefore, 56 as a product of its prime factors is 7 x 2 x 2 x 2 OR 7 x 2^3.

ok so with prime factors you have to break it down until you get to prime numbers. chloe. 12 May 2011. so 36 as a product of its prime factors is expressed as 36=3x3x2x2. chloe. 12 May 2011. now 9 and 4 are no prime numbers so we have to break it down again into 9 = 3x3 and 4= 2x2. chloe.

Now, we must find the factors of these two numbers: - Factors of 10: 5 x 2 = 10. As the numbers 5 and 2 are both prime numbers, they are counted as prime factors for 300. -Factors of 30: 3 x 10 = 30. As 3 is a prime number, we have found another prime factor of 300. However, 10 is not a prime factor, and so we must keep going: 5 x 2 = 10, and ...

To write 36 as a product of its prime factors we use a factor tree. The key thing to remember is to always circle the prime numbers. So we start with writing 36 at the top of the page. 36 is divisible by 18 and 2 so draw 2 lines from the 36 with 18 and 2 at the end of the line. 2 is prime so we circle it. 18 is divisible by 9 and 2 so we draw 2 ...
