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

Step 1: Firstly, 432 is divided by 2 to get 216.

Step 2: Now divide 216 by 2 to get 108.

Step 3: Then divide 108 by 2 to get 54.

Step 4: Divide 54 by 2 to get 27.

Step 5: Divide 27 by 3 to get 9.

Step 6: Divide 9 by 3 to get 3. Here, 3 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 432 is: 2^4 × 3^3.

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