Factor Tree of 576

Given number is 576
The factor tree of 576 is as follows:

	576
2		288
	2		144
		2		72
			2		36
				2		18
					2		9
						3		3

576 = 2 x 288

288 = 2 x 144

144 = 2 x 72

72 = 2 x 36

36 = 2 x 18

18 = 2 x 9

9 = 3 x 3

If we write into multiples it would be 576 x 2

On splitting 288 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 144 x 2.

On splitting 144 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 72 x 2.

On splitting 72 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 36 x 2.

On splitting 36 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 18 x 2.

On splitting 18 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 9 x 2.

On splitting 9 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 3.
