Prime Factorization of 42 via Factor Tree Method


When a prime factorization has the same prime factor (f) appearing x number of times in a prime factorization, the factors can be written as fx. There are several methods to performing a prime factorization. The "factor tree" method is one of the methods used to find a prime factorization. It represents the prime factors of a positive integer in a "family tree" layout or diagram.[1]
