Prime Factorization - 5th Grade Math - Finding Factors of a Number (Factoring) - Math Homework Help!

In this lesson, the student will learn how to find the prime factors of a number and how to write the prime factorization down. The easiest way to do this is to write down the factors in a "factor tree". The prime factors are the numbers at the "bottom" of the factor tree.

Finding factors of a number (number factors) isn't hard. In fact, math factoring is very easy once this simple technique of using a factor tree is understood.
