Given number is 2960
The factor tree of 2960 is as follows:
| 2960 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 1480 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 740 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 370 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 185 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 37 | ||||||||||
2960 = 2 x 1480
1480 = 2 x 740
740 = 2 x 370
370 = 2 x 185
185 = 5 x 37
If we write into multiples it would be 2960 x 2
On splitting 1480 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 740 x 2.
On splitting 740 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 370 x 2.
On splitting 370 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 185 x 2.
On splitting 185 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 37 x 5.
