Given number is 21500
The factor tree of 21500 is as follows:
| 21500 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 10750 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 5375 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 1075 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 215 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 43 | ||||||||||
21500 = 2 x 10750
10750 = 2 x 5375
5375 = 5 x 1075
1075 = 5 x 215
215 = 5 x 43
If we write into multiples it would be 21500 x 2
On splitting 10750 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5375 x 2.
On splitting 5375 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1075 x 5.
On splitting 1075 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 215 x 5.
On splitting 215 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 43 x 5.
