3456 = 2 x 1728
1728 = 2 x 864
864 = 2 x 432
432 = 2 x 216
216 = 2 x 108
108 = 2 x 54
54 = 2 x 27
27 = 3 x 9
9 = 3 x 3
If we write into multiples it would be 3456 x 2
On splitting 1728 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 864 x 2.
On splitting 864 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 432 x 2.
On splitting 432 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 216 x 2.
On splitting 216 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 108 x 2.
On splitting 108 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 54 x 2.
On splitting 54 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 27 x 2.
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.
