Product of the factor tree 3960

 

Answer:

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 11 or 2³ x 3² x 5 x 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the obvious factors of 3960.

3960 = 396 x 10

Then we start finding the prime factors of the number.

3960 = (3 x 132) x (2 x 5)

3960 = 3 x (4 x 33) x 2 x 5

3960 = 3 x (2 x 2) x (3 x 11) x 2 x5

3960 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 11

or 3960 = 2³ x 3² x 5 x 11

Hope this helps!
