Given number is 5960
The factor tree of 5960 is as follows:
| 5960 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 2980 | |||||||||
| 2 | 1490 | |||||||||
| 2 | 745 | |||||||||
| 5 | 149 | |||||||||
5960 = 2 x 2980
2980 = 2 x 1490
1490 = 2 x 745
745 = 5 x 149
If we write into multiples it would be 5960 x 2
On splitting 2980 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1490 x 2.
On splitting 1490 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 745 x 2.
On splitting 745 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 149 x 5.
