Given number is 296
The factor tree of 296 is as follows:
296 | ||||||||||
2 | 148 | |||||||||
2 | 74 | |||||||||
2 | 37 | |||||||||
296 = 2 x 148
148 = 2 x 74
74 = 2 x 37
If we write into multiples it would be 296 x 2
On splitting 148 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 74 x 2.
On splitting 74 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 37 x 2.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
