Given number is 2720
The factor tree of 2720 is as follows:
| 2720 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 1360 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 680 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 340 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 170 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 85 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 17 | |||||||||||
2720 = 2 x 1360
1360 = 2 x 680
680 = 2 x 340
340 = 2 x 170
170 = 2 x 85
85 = 5 x 17
If we write into multiples it would be 2720 x 2
On splitting 1360 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 680 x 2.
On splitting 680 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 340 x 2.
On splitting 340 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 170 x 2.
On splitting 170 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 85 x 2.
On splitting 85 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 5.
