Given number is 3956
The factor tree of 3956 is as follows:
| 3956 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1978 | |||||||||
| 2 | 989 | |||||||||
| 23 | 43 | |||||||||
3956 = 2 x 1978
1978 = 2 x 989
989 = 23 x 43
If we write into multiples it would be 3956 x 2
On splitting 1978 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 989 x 2.
On splitting 989 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 43 x 23.
