Factor Tree of 324

Given number is 324
The factor tree of 324 is as follows:

	324
2		162
	2		81
		3		27
			3		9
				3		3

324 = 2 x 162

162 = 2 x 81

81 = 3 x 27

27 = 3 x 9

9 = 3 x 3

If we write into multiples it would be 324 x 2

On splitting 162 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 81 x 2.

On splitting 81 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 27 x 3.

On splitting 27 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 9 x 3.

On splitting 9 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 3.
