Given number is 636
The factor tree of 636 is as follows:
| 636 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 318 | |||||||||
| 2 | 159 | |||||||||
| 3 | 53 | |||||||||

636 = 2 x 318
318 = 2 x 159
159 = 3 x 53
If we write into multiples it would be 636 x 2
On splitting 318 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 159 x 2.
On splitting 159 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 53 x 3.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
