The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show 

Step 1: Firstly, 960 is divided by 2 to get 480.

Step 2: Now divide 480 by 2 to get 240.

Step 3: Then divide 240 by 2 to get 120.

Step 4: Divide 120 by 2 to get 60.

Step 5: Divide 60 by 2 to get 30.

Step 6: Divide 30 by 2 to get 15.

Step 7: Divide 15 by 3 to get 5. Here, 5 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore.

So, the prime factorization of 960 is: 26 × 3 × 5.

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