Given number is 3156
The factor tree of 3156 is as follows:
| 3156 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1578 | |||||||||
| 2 | 789 | |||||||||
| 3 | 263 | |||||||||
3156 = 2 x 1578
1578 = 2 x 789
789 = 3 x 263
If we write into multiples it would be 3156 x 2
On splitting 1578 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 789 x 2.
