Given number is 3612
The factor tree of 3612 is as follows:
| 3612 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1806 | |||||||||
| 2 | 903 | |||||||||
| 3 | 301 | |||||||||
| 7 | 43 | |||||||||
3612 = 2 x 1806
1806 = 2 x 903
903 = 3 x 301
301 = 7 x 43
If we write into multiples it would be 3612 x 2
On splitting 1806 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 903 x 2.
On splitting 903 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 301 x 3.
On splitting 301 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 43 x 7.
