How to Find the Prime Factorization of a Composite Number Using the Tree Method | 84 | Part 2 of 2

In this video we learn how to find the prime factorization of a composite number using the factor tree method of 84.

The steps on how to find the prime factorization of a composite number are:

1. Find any factor pair of the given number, and use these numbers to create two branches.
2. If a factor is prime, that branch is complete. Circle the prime.
3. If a factor is not prime, write it as the product of a factor pair and continue the process.
4. Write the composite number as the product of all the circled primes.
