Given number is 4960
The factor tree of 4960 is as follows:
| 4960 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 2480 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 1240 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 620 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 310 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 155 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 31 | |||||||||||
4960 = 2 x 2480
2480 = 2 x 1240
1240 = 2 x 620
620 = 2 x 310
310 = 2 x 155
155 = 5 x 31
If we write into multiples it would be 4960 x 2
On splitting 2480 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1240 x 2.
On splitting 1240 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 620 x 2.
On splitting 620 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 310 x 2.
On splitting 310 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 155 x 2.
On splitting 155 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 31 x 5.
