Given number is 12360
The factor tree of 12360 is as follows:
| 12360 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 6180 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 3090 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1545 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 515 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 103 | ||||||||||
12360 = 2 x 6180
6180 = 2 x 3090
3090 = 2 x 1545
1545 = 3 x 515
515 = 5 x 103
If we write into multiples it would be 12360 x 2
On splitting 6180 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3090 x 2.
