Given number is 12500
The factor tree of 12500 is as follows:
| 12500 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 6250 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 3125 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 625 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 125 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 25 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 5 | |||||||||||
12500 = 2 x 6250
6250 = 2 x 3125
3125 = 5 x 625
625 = 5 x 125
125 = 5 x 25
25 = 5 x 5
If we write into multiples it would be 12500 x 2
On splitting 6250 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3125 x 2.
On splitting 3125 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 625 x 5.
On splitting 625 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 125 x 5.
On splitting 125 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 25 x 5.
On splitting 25 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
