Factor Tree of 432

Given number is 432
The factor tree of 432 is as follows:

	432
2		216
	2		108
		2		54
			2		27
				3		9
					3		3

432 = 2 x 216

216 = 2 x 108

108 = 2 x 54

54 = 2 x 27

27 = 3 x 9

9 = 3 x 3

If we write into multiples it would be 432 x 2

On splitting 216 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 108 x 2.

On splitting 108 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 54 x 2.

On splitting 54 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 27 x 2.

On splitting 27 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 9 x 3.

On splitting 9 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 3.
