Latoya created a factor tree and wrote the prime factorization of 90 shown below. A factor tree of 90. 90 branches to 9 and 10.

9 branches to 3 and 3. 10 branches to 2 and 5. The equation is 90 = 2 times 3 times 5. What is Latoya's error? She should not have found the factors of 9. She should have included an exponent of 2 on the 3. She should have included 9 and 10 in the prime factorization. She should have started the tree with 2 times 45.
