i need a factor tree for 800
800 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 = 2 ^ 5 * 5 ^ 2
not giving a lot of information!!!

To find the factor tree for the number 800, you can follow these steps:
1. Begin by dividing the number 800 by the smallest prime number, which is 2. The result is 400.
800 ÷ 2 = 400
2. Now, repeat step 1 for the quotient (400 in this case).
400 ÷ 2 = 200
3. Continue dividing by 2 until you reach a prime number. Divide the previous quotient (200) by 2 again.
200 ÷ 2 = 100
4. Divide the resulting quotient (100) by 2.
100 ÷ 2 = 50
5. Keep dividing by 2 until reaching a prime number.
50 ÷ 2 = 25
6. Now, divide the last quotient (25) by a prime number, which is 5.
25 ÷ 5 = 5
7. Lastly, divide the remaining quotient (5) by itself. Since 5 is a prime number, this is the final step.
5 ÷ 5 = 1
Putting it all together, the factor tree for 800 is:
