Given number is 588
The factor tree of 588 is as follows:
| 588 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 294 | |||||||||
| 2 | 147 | |||||||||
| 3 | 49 | |||||||||
| 7 | 7 | |||||||||

588 = 2 x 294
294 = 2 x 147
147 = 3 x 49
49 = 7 x 7
If we write into multiples it would be 588 x 2
On splitting 294 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 147 x 2.
On splitting 147 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 49 x 3.
On splitting 49 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 7.
