Math Problem Statement

factor tree method of 59 and 67

Solution

Both 59 and 67 are prime numbers. A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

Factor Tree for 59 and 67:

Since 59 and 67 are prime numbers, their factor trees are very simple:

  • 59:

    • The only factors of 59 are 1 and 59 itself.
    • The factor tree of 59 would just be the number 59.
       59
      /  \
     1    59
    
  • 67:

    • The only factors of 67 are 1 and 67 itself.
    • The factor tree of 67 would just be the number 67.
       67
      /  \
     1    67
    

Conclusion:

  • Prime Factorization of 59: 5959 (itself)
  • Prime Factorization of 67: 6767 (itself)

Since they are already prime, there's no further breakdown possible using the factor tree method.
