Given number is 5256
The factor tree of 5256 is as follows:
| 5256 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 2628 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1314 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 657 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 219 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 73 | ||||||||||
5256 = 2 x 2628
2628 = 2 x 1314
1314 = 2 x 657
657 = 3 x 219
219 = 3 x 73
If we write into multiples it would be 5256 x 2
On splitting 2628 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1314 x 2.
