What is the prime factorization for 63 using The factorization tree??
thanks can you help me with the same type but using 36 and 245??
63
/ /
(3) 21
/ /
(7)(3)
3^2*7
sure,
36
//
6 6
// //
(3) (2) (3) (2)
3^2*2^2
245
//
(5) 49
//
(7) (7)
7^2*5
let me know if ur confused at all, I hope this helps :-)
Tori -- it's your turn now to try doing it yourself.

Thanks for all your help... and no the graph was not confuing it was just fine!!
thanks, T
no problem, glad to help, good luck talking to your teacher tomorrow!!
To find the prime factorization of 63 using the factorization tree method, you start by dividing the number by its smallest prime factor. In this case, the smallest prime factor of 63 is 3.
Here are the steps to find the prime factorization of 63 using the factorization tree:
Step 1: Divide 63 by the smallest prime factor, which is 3. The result is 21.
63
/ \
3 21
Step 2: Now, divide 21 by the smallest prime factor, which is also 3. The result is 7.
63
/ \
3 21
\
3 7
Step 3: Since 7 is already a prime number, the factorization tree is complete.
So the prime factorization of 63 is 3 x 3 x 7, or written in exponential form, 3^2 x 7.
