Prime Factorization of 242 with a Factor Tree

Factor Tree building procedure:

Divide the given composite number by its smallest prime factor
If the resulting quotient is a composite number, divide it by its smallest prime factor
Repeat until resulting quotient is a prime number

Prime Factorization of 242 with a Factor Tree

Prime Factorization of 242: 242 = 2 x 11 x 11
Prime Factorization of 242 in Exponential Form: 242 = 2 x 11²
Note: While the Prime Factorization of a Composite Number is unique, corresponding Factor Trees will differ if a different procedure is used
