Factor Tree of 480

Given number is 480
The factor tree of 480 is as follows:

	480
2		240
	2		120
		2		60
			2		30
				2		15
					3		5

480 = 2 x 240

240 = 2 x 120

120 = 2 x 60

60 = 2 x 30

30 = 2 x 15

15 = 3 x 5

If we write into multiples it would be 480 x 2

On splitting 240 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 120 x 2.

On splitting 120 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 60 x 2.

On splitting 60 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 30 x 2.

On splitting 30 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 15 x 2.

On splitting 15 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 3.
