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

Step 1: Firstly, 216 is divided by 2 to get 108.

Step 2: Now divide 108 by 2 to get 54.

Step 3: Then divide 54 by 2 to get 27.

Step 4: Divide 27 by 3 to get 9.

Step 5: Divide 9 by 3 to get 3. Here, 3 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of -216 is: -1 × 23 × 33.
