Keep splitting each number into two factors until every branch ends in a prime. Write the primes from smallest to largest.
1.Use a factor tree to write 175 as a product of prime factors.
Answer: 5×5×7
- 175 = 5 × 35
- 35 = 5 × 7
- So 175 = 5 × 5 × 7 = 52 × 7
2.Use a factor tree to write 90 as a product of prime factors.
Answer: 2×3×3×5
- 90 = 2 × 45
- 45 = 3 × 15
- 15 = 3 × 5
- So 90 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 2 × 32 × 5
3.Use a factor tree to write 75 as a product of prime factors.
Answer: 3×5×5
- 75 = 3 × 25
- 25 = 5 × 5
- So 75 = 3 × 5 × 5 = 3 × 52
4.Which number has the prime factorization 3 × 5 × 7?
Answer: 105
- 3 × 5 × 7 = 105
5.Use a factor tree to write 60 as a product of prime factors.
Answer: 2×2×3×5
- 60 = 2 × 30
- 30 = 2 × 15
- 15 = 3 × 5
- So 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 22 × 3 × 5
6.Use a factor tree to write 140 as a product of prime factors.
Answer: 2×2×5×7
- 140 = 2 × 70
- 70 = 2 × 35
- 35 = 5 × 7
- So 140 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 7 = 22 × 5 × 7
7.Use a factor tree to write 126 as a product of prime factors.
Answer: 2×3×3×7
- 126 = 2 × 63
- 63 = 3 × 21
- 21 = 3 × 7
- So 126 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 = 2 × 32 × 7
8.Which number has the prime factorization 22 × 3 × 7?
Answer: 84
- 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 84
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
