To calculate the prime factors of 108 enter a number in the field below and press decompose:
The factorization of 108 is equal to 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 x 3. We find these factors by successively dividing 108 by the prime numbers until we obtain the prime factors.
The prime factor tree of 108 is an illustration that shows how the number 108 is decomposed into its fundamental prime factors, as 2, 3 and 5. This visual representation helps you understand the underlying structure of the number and how it is formed from smaller prime numbers.
Look at the following tree:
| 108 | |||||||||
| 2 | 54 | ||||||||
| 2 | 27 | ||||||||
| 3 | 9 | ||||||||
| 3 | 3 | ||||||||
Start by dividing the number 108 by the smallest prime numbers, starting with the smallest prime, which is 2.
108 ÷ 2 = 54
Agora, continue dividindo o resultado da etapa anterior por números primos menores, até que não seja mais possível fazer divisões inteiras.
54 ÷ 2 = 27
Continue as divisões até não ser mais possível obter divisões inteiras.
27 ÷ 3 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Now, the numbers by which you divided 108 and got integer results are the prime factors of 108. In this case, we have 2, 2, 3 and 3.
Write the factorization of the number 108 using its prime factors. The full factorization of 108 is:
108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 x 3
These steps show how the number 108 can be factored into its prime components, which is helpful in understanding its structure and mathematical properties.
