Given number is 4200
The factor tree of 4200 is as follows:
| 4200 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 2100 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 1050 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 525 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 175 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 35 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 7 | |||||||||||
4200 = 2 x 2100
2100 = 2 x 1050
1050 = 2 x 525
525 = 3 x 175
175 = 5 x 35
35 = 5 x 7
If we write into multiples it would be 4200 x 2
On splitting 2100 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1050 x 2.
On splitting 1050 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 525 x 2.
On splitting 525 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 175 x 3.
On splitting 175 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 35 x 5.
On splitting 35 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
