Factor Tree of 3960

Given number is 3960
The factor tree of 3960 is as follows:

3960 = 2 x 1980

1980 = 2 x 990

990 = 2 x 495

495 = 3 x 165

165 = 3 x 55

55 = 5 x 11

If we write into multiples it would be 3960 x 2

On splitting 1980 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 990 x 2.

On splitting 990 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 495 x 2.

On splitting 495 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 165 x 3.

On splitting 165 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 55 x 3.

On splitting 55 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 11 x 5.
