Factor Tree of 2160

Given number is 2160
The factor tree of 2160 is as follows:

	2160
2		1080
	2		540
		2		270
			2		135
				3		45
					3		15
						3		5

2160 = 2 x 1080

1080 = 2 x 540

540 = 2 x 270

270 = 2 x 135

135 = 3 x 45

45 = 3 x 15

15 = 3 x 5

If we write into multiples it would be 2160 x 2

On splitting 1080 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 540 x 2.

On splitting 540 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 270 x 2.

On splitting 270 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 135 x 2.

On splitting 135 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 45 x 3.

On splitting 45 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 15 x 3.

On splitting 15 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 3.
