Factors of #7200# are #2xx2xx2xx2xx2xx3xx3xx5xx5#

Explanation:

A factor tree is diagram in which you first have broad factors of a number, then the factors of those numbers and so on, until you can't factor any more and you have all the prime factors at the end. These prime factors at the end are all the prime factors of the original number and you can write the original number as a product of all prime numbers.

Broad factors of #7200# hundred are #72# and #100# and then we proceed as given below. Then factor tree comes up as shown below:
