Given number is 3672
The factor tree of 3672 is as follows:
| 3672 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 1836 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 918 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 459 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 153 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 51 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 17 | |||||||||||
3672 = 2 x 1836
1836 = 2 x 918
918 = 2 x 459
459 = 3 x 153
153 = 3 x 51
51 = 3 x 17
If we write into multiples it would be 3672 x 2
On splitting 1836 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 918 x 2.
On splitting 918 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 459 x 2.
On splitting 459 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 153 x 3.
On splitting 153 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 51 x 3.
On splitting 51 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 3.
