Given number is 5500
The factor tree of 5500 is as follows:
5500 | |||||||||||
2 | 2750 | ||||||||||
2 | 1375 | ||||||||||
5 | 275 | ||||||||||
5 | 55 | ||||||||||
5 | 11 | ||||||||||
5500 = 2 x 2750
2750 = 2 x 1375
1375 = 5 x 275
275 = 5 x 55
55 = 5 x 11
If we write into multiples it would be 5500 x 2
On splitting 2750 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1375 x 2.
On splitting 1375 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 275 x 5.
On splitting 275 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 55 x 5.
On splitting 55 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 11 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
