The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows:

Step 1: Firstly, 252 is divided by 2 to get 126.

Step 2: Now divide 126 by 2 to get 63.

Step 3: Then divide 63 by 3 to get 21.

Step 4: Divide 21 by 3 to get 7. Here, 7 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 252 is: 2² × 3² × 7.

Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called as factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

Positive factor pairs of 252: (1, 252), (2, 126), (3, 84), (4, 63), (6, 42), (7, 36), (9, 28), (12, 21), (14, 18).

Negative factor pairs of -252: (-1, -252), (-2, -126), (-3, -84), (-4, -63), (-6, -42), (-7, -36), (-9, -28), (-12, -21), (-14, -18).
