Given number is 12400
The factor tree of 12400 is as follows:
| 12400 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 6200 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 3100 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 1550 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 775 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 155 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 31 | |||||||||||
12400 = 2 x 6200
6200 = 2 x 3100
3100 = 2 x 1550
1550 = 2 x 775
775 = 5 x 155
155 = 5 x 31
If we write into multiples it would be 12400 x 2
On splitting 6200 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3100 x 2.
On splitting 3100 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1550 x 2.
On splitting 1550 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 775 x 2.
On splitting 775 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 155 x 5.
On splitting 155 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 31 x 5.
