Given number is 3720
The factor tree of 3720 is as follows:
| 3720 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 1860 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 930 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 465 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 155 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 31 | ||||||||||
3720 = 2 x 1860
1860 = 2 x 930
930 = 2 x 465
465 = 3 x 155
155 = 5 x 31
If we write into multiples it would be 3720 x 2
On splitting 1860 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 930 x 2.
On splitting 930 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 465 x 2.
On splitting 465 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 155 x 3.
On splitting 155 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 31 x 5.
