Given number is 12420
The factor tree of 12420 is as follows:
| 12420 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 6210 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 3105 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 1035 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 345 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 115 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 23 | |||||||||||
12420 = 2 x 6210
6210 = 2 x 3105
3105 = 3 x 1035
1035 = 3 x 345
345 = 3 x 115
115 = 5 x 23
If we write into multiples it would be 12420 x 2
On splitting 6210 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3105 x 2.
On splitting 3105 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1035 x 3.
On splitting 1035 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 345 x 3.
On splitting 345 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 115 x 3.
On splitting 115 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 23 x 5.
