6720 = 2 x 3360
3360 = 2 x 1680
1680 = 2 x 840
840 = 2 x 420
420 = 2 x 210
210 = 2 x 105
105 = 3 x 35
35 = 5 x 7
If we write into multiples it would be 6720 x 2
On splitting 3360 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1680 x 2.
On splitting 1680 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 840 x 2.
On splitting 840 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 420 x 2.
On splitting 420 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 210 x 2.
On splitting 210 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 105 x 2.
On splitting 105 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 35 x 3.
On splitting 35 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 5.
