Given number is 17400
The factor tree of 17400 is as follows:
| 17400 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 8700 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 4350 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 2175 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 725 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 145 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 29 | |||||||||||
17400 = 2 x 8700
8700 = 2 x 4350
4350 = 2 x 2175
2175 = 3 x 725
725 = 5 x 145
145 = 5 x 29
If we write into multiples it would be 17400 x 2
On splitting 8700 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 4350 x 2.
On splitting 4350 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 2175 x 2.
On splitting 2175 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 725 x 3.
On splitting 725 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 145 x 5.
On splitting 145 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 29 x 5.
