Given number is 4860
The factor tree of 4860 is as follows:
| 4860 | |||||||||||||
| 2 | 2430 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 1215 | ||||||||||||
| 3 | 405 | ||||||||||||
| 3 | 135 | ||||||||||||
| 3 | 45 | ||||||||||||
| 3 | 15 | ||||||||||||
| 3 | 5 | ||||||||||||
4860 = 2 x 2430
2430 = 2 x 1215
1215 = 3 x 405
405 = 3 x 135
135 = 3 x 45
45 = 3 x 15
15 = 3 x 5
If we write into multiples it would be 4860 x 2
On splitting 2430 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1215 x 2.
On splitting 1215 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 405 x 3.
On splitting 405 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 135 x 3.
On splitting 135 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 45 x 3.
On splitting 45 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 15 x 3.
On splitting 15 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 3.
