Given number is 396
The factor tree of 396 is as follows:
396 | ||||||||||
2 | 198 | |||||||||
2 | 99 | |||||||||
3 | 33 | |||||||||
3 | 11 | |||||||||
396 = 2 x 198
198 = 2 x 99
99 = 3 x 33
33 = 3 x 11
If we write into multiples it would be 396 x 2
On splitting 198 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 99 x 2.
On splitting 99 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 33 x 3.
On splitting 33 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 11 x 3.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
