Chapter 4.1, Problem 32E

To determine

To find: The missing number of the factor tree.

Answer to Problem 32E

Complete factor tree is,

  

Prime factorization of 104, $104=2\times 2\times 2\times 13$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Given factor tree is,

  

Consider, the factor tree as,

  

Now,

  $\begin{array}{c}104=8\times 13\\ 8=2\times 4\\ 4=2\times 2\end{array}$

Hence, complete factor tree is,

  

Prime factorisation of the number 104 is,

  $104=2\times 2\times 2\times 13$
