Given number is 2856
The factor tree of 2856 is as follows:
| 2856 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 1428 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 714 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 357 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 119 | ||||||||||
| 7 | 17 | ||||||||||
2856 = 2 x 1428
1428 = 2 x 714
714 = 2 x 357
357 = 3 x 119
119 = 7 x 17
If we write into multiples it would be 2856 x 2
On splitting 1428 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 714 x 2.
On splitting 714 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 357 x 2.
On splitting 357 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 119 x 3.
On splitting 119 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 7.
