How to Find the Prime Factorization of a Composite Number Using the Tree Method | 48 | Part 1 of 2
Minute Math
In this video we learn how to find the prime factorization of a composite number using the factor tree method of 48.
The steps on how to find the prime factorization of a composite number are:
- Find any factor pair of the given number, and use these numbers to create two branches.
- If a factor is prime, that branch is complete. Circle the prime.
- If a factor is not prime, write it as the product of a factor pair and continue the process.
- Write the composite number as the product of all the circled primes.
