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

Step 1: Firstly, 280 is divided by 2 to get 140.

Step 2: Now divide 140 by 2 to get 70.

Step 3: Then divide 70 by 2 to get 35.

Step 4: Divide 35 by 5 to get 7. Here, 7 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of -280 is: 23 × 5 × 7.

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 280: (1, 280), (2, 140), (4, 70), (5, 56), (7, 40), (8, 35), (10, 28), (14, 20).

Negative factor pairs of -280: (-1, -280), (-2, -140), (-4, -70), (-5, -56), (-7, -40), (-8, -35), (-10, -28), (-14, -20).
