Given number is 3162
The factor tree of 3162 is as follows:
| 3162 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1581 | |||||||||
| 3 | 527 | |||||||||
| 17 | 31 | |||||||||
3162 = 2 x 1581
1581 = 3 x 527
527 = 17 x 31
If we write into multiples it would be 3162 x 2
On splitting 1581 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 527 x 3.
