Given number is 12460
The factor tree of 12460 is as follows:
| 12460 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 6230 | |||||||||
| 2 | 3115 | |||||||||
| 5 | 623 | |||||||||
| 7 | 89 | |||||||||
12460 = 2 x 6230
6230 = 2 x 3115
3115 = 5 x 623
623 = 7 x 89
If we write into multiples it would be 12460 x 2
On splitting 6230 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3115 x 2.
