Given number is 596
The factor tree of 596 is as follows:
| 596 | |||||||||
| 2 | 298 | ||||||||
| 2 | 149 | ||||||||

596 = 2 x 298
298 = 2 x 149
If we write into multiples it would be 596 x 2
On splitting 298 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 149 x 2.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
