Given number is 15420
The factor tree of 15420 is as follows:
| 15420 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 7710 | |||||||||
| 2 | 3855 | |||||||||
| 3 | 1285 | |||||||||
| 5 | 257 | |||||||||
15420 = 2 x 7710
7710 = 2 x 3855
3855 = 3 x 1285
1285 = 5 x 257
If we write into multiples it would be 15420 x 2
On splitting 7710 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3855 x 2.
