Given number is 5760
The factor tree of 5760 is as follows:
| 5760 | |||||||||||||||
| 2 | 2880 | ||||||||||||||
| 2 | 1440 | ||||||||||||||
| 2 | 720 | ||||||||||||||
| 2 | 360 | ||||||||||||||
| 2 | 180 | ||||||||||||||
| 2 | 90 | ||||||||||||||
| 2 | 45 | ||||||||||||||
| 3 | 15 | ||||||||||||||
| 3 | 5 | ||||||||||||||
5760 = 2 x 2880
2880 = 2 x 1440
1440 = 2 x 720
720 = 2 x 360
360 = 2 x 180
180 = 2 x 90
90 = 2 x 45
45 = 3 x 15
15 = 3 x 5
If we write into multiples it would be 5760 x 2
On splitting 2880 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1440 x 2.
On splitting 1440 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 720 x 2.
On splitting 720 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 360 x 2.
On splitting 360 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 180 x 2.
On splitting 180 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 90 x 2.
On splitting 90 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 45 x 2.
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.
