A factor tree is a diagram used to identify the prime factors of a natural number greater than one. For example, a factor tree can be helpful to show the importance and sort out the prime number. Use the below factor tree worksheet sketch to create a factor tree for any natural number as required in the lesson. A worksheet sketch or diagram can have multiple natural numbers where students are asked to enter the prime numbers to achieve the desired goal. For instance, 72 can be written as 4 * 18; 4 can then be broken down into 2 * 2, and 18 can be broken down into 3 * 6, and then six can be written as 2 * 3.
