Given number is 12072
The factor tree of 12072 is as follows:
| 12072 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 6036 | |||||||||
| 2 | 3018 | |||||||||
| 2 | 1509 | |||||||||
| 3 | 503 | |||||||||
12072 = 2 x 6036
6036 = 2 x 3018
3018 = 2 x 1509
1509 = 3 x 503
If we write into multiples it would be 12072 x 2
On splitting 6036 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3018 x 2.
On splitting 3018 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1509 x 2.
