Factor Tree of 144

Given number is 144
The factor tree of 144 is as follows:

	144
2		72
	2		36
		2		18
			2		9
				3		3

144 = 2 x 72

72 = 2 x 36

36 = 2 x 18

18 = 2 x 9

9 = 3 x 3

If we write into multiples it would be 144 x 2

On splitting 72 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 36 x 2.

On splitting 36 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 18 x 2.

On splitting 18 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 9 x 2.

On splitting 9 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 3.
