Given number is 16500
The factor tree of 16500 is as follows:
| 16500 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 8250 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 4125 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 1375 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 275 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 55 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 11 | |||||||||||
16500 = 2 x 8250
8250 = 2 x 4125
4125 = 3 x 1375
1375 = 5 x 275
275 = 5 x 55
55 = 5 x 11
If we write into multiples it would be 16500 x 2
On splitting 8250 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 4125 x 2.
On splitting 4125 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1375 x 3.
On splitting 1375 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 275 x 5.
On splitting 275 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 55 x 5.
On splitting 55 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 11 x 5.
