Given number is 3256
The factor tree of 3256 is as follows:
| 3256 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1628 | |||||||||
| 2 | 814 | |||||||||
| 2 | 407 | |||||||||
| 11 | 37 | |||||||||
3256 = 2 x 1628
1628 = 2 x 814
814 = 2 x 407
407 = 11 x 37
If we write into multiples it would be 3256 x 2
On splitting 1628 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 814 x 2.
On splitting 814 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 407 x 2.
On splitting 407 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 37 x 11.
