Given number is 6960
The factor tree of 6960 is as follows:
| 6960 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | 3480 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 1740 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 870 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 435 | |||||||||||
| 3 | 145 | |||||||||||
| 5 | 29 | |||||||||||
6960 = 2 x 3480
3480 = 2 x 1740
1740 = 2 x 870
870 = 2 x 435
435 = 3 x 145
145 = 5 x 29
If we write into multiples it would be 6960 x 2
On splitting 3480 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1740 x 2.
