22 is a composite number. 22 = i x 22 or two x xi. Factors of 22: 1, two, 11, 22. Prime factorization: 22 = two x eleven.

When 22 is a inkling in the Discover THE FACTORS 1 – 12 puzzles, use 2 and 11 as the factors.

'Tis the season to use factor trees to find all the factors of a number. Here is a factor tree that shows all the prime factors of 560. Next to it is a cistron tree for 324. Do you see all of their prime number factors conspicuously?

Because sometimes 1 can't "see the factors for the trees," I recommend circling the prime factors or doing something else to make them more than distinct.  Here are the trees again with every prime factor clearly visible:

I brand logic puzzles based on the multiplication table. The puzzles for today'southward post could also be called cistron trees because you have to factor the clues to detect the solution, and the puzzles are shaped like evergreen trees in whole or in office. I've even included a tree hanging from the ceiling, of all places! It may seem like a modernistic novelty, simply people take been hanging Christmas trees upside down in Eastern Europe for centuries. To solve the puzzles either cut and paste the puzzles into a document to print or click 12 Factors 2013-12-12.
