Given number is 6174
The factor tree of 6174 is as follows:
| 6174 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 3087 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 1029 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 343 | ||||||||||
| 7 | 49 | ||||||||||
| 7 | 7 | ||||||||||
6174 = 2 x 3087
3087 = 3 x 1029
1029 = 3 x 343
343 = 7 x 49
49 = 7 x 7
If we write into multiples it would be 6174 x 2
On splitting 3087 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1029 x 3.
On splitting 1029 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 343 x 3.
On splitting 343 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 49 x 7.
On splitting 49 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 7.
