Given number is 656
The factor tree of 656 is as follows:
| 656 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 328 | |||||||||
| 2 | 164 | |||||||||
| 2 | 82 | |||||||||
| 2 | 41 | |||||||||

656 = 2 x 328
328 = 2 x 164
164 = 2 x 82
82 = 2 x 41
If we write into multiples it would be 656 x 2
On splitting 328 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 164 x 2.
On splitting 164 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 82 x 2.
On splitting 82 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 41 x 2.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
