How to use the Factor Tree

Prime factorisation

Every integer greater than 1 can be expressed uniquely as a product of prime numbers — this is the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. A factor tree shows the steps visually: split the number into any two factors, then keep splitting non-prime factors until everything at the bottom is prime.

Why this matters

Prime factorisation underpins finding GCF, LCM, simplifying fractions, RSA encryption and many number theory results. The unique factorisation guarantees that no matter which path you take through the factor tree, the bottom row always has the same prime factors.
