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

Step 1: Firstly, 378 is divided by 2 to get 189.

Step 2: Now divide 189 by 3 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 378 is: 2 × 33 × 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 378: (1, 378), (2, 189), (3, 126), (6, 63), (7, 54), (9, 42), and (18, 21).

Negative factor pairs of 378: (-1, -378), (-2, -189), (-3, -126), (-6, -63), (-7, -54), (-9, -42), and (-18, -21).
