Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A factor tree is a diagram that shows all the prime factors of a number. It represents as a tree, with the number at the root, its prime factors on the left, and then the factor tree is created recursively by adding more trees if a prime factor on the left has other prime factors.

For example, the factor tree for the number 60 (2 x 2 x 3 x 5) would look like the following:

60

/ \

20 30 (2 x 5)

/ \

4 5

So the statement is true. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FEEL FREE FOR ME TO ANSWER!!!
