Given number is 3072
The factor tree of 3072 is as follows:
| 3072 | ||||||||||||||||
| 2 | 1536 | |||||||||||||||
| 2 | 768 | |||||||||||||||
| 2 | 384 | |||||||||||||||
| 2 | 192 | |||||||||||||||

3072 = 2 x 1536
1536 = 2 x 768
768 = 2 x 384
384 = 2 x 192
192 = 2 x 96
96 = 2 x 48
48 = 2 x 24
24 = 2 x 12
12 = 2 x 6
6 = 2 x 3
If we write into multiples it would be 3072 x 2
On splitting 1536 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 768 x 2.
On splitting 768 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 384 x 2.
On splitting 384 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 192 x 2.
On splitting 192 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 96 x 2.
On splitting 96 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 48 x 2.
On splitting 48 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 24 x 2.
On splitting 24 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 12 x 2.
On splitting 12 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 6 x 2.
On splitting 6 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 2.
