16 <h2>Factor Tree</h2>

15 <h2>Factor Tree</h2>

17 <p>The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show - Step 1: Firstly, 493 is divided by 17 to get 29. Step 2: Now divide 29 by 29 to get 1. Here, 29 is a prime number, and it cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 493 is: 17 × 29. Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs. Positive factor pairs of 493: (1, 493) and (17, 29). Negative factor pairs of 493: (-1, -493) and (-17, -29).</p>
