Given number is 2520
The factor tree of 2520 is as follows:
| 2520 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 1260 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 630 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 315 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 105 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 35 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 7 | |||||||||||
2520 = 2 x 1260
1260 = 2 x 630
630 = 2 x 315
315 = 3 x 105
105 = 3 x 35
35 = 5 x 7
If we write into multiples it would be 2520 x 2
On splitting 1260 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 630 x 2.
On splitting 630 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 315 x 2.
On splitting 315 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 105 x 3.
On splitting 105 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 35 x 3.
On splitting 35 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 5.
