Given number is 742
The factor tree of 742 is as follows:
| 742 | |||||||||
| 2 | 371 | ||||||||
| 7 | 53 | ||||||||

742 = 2 x 371
371 = 7 x 53
If we write into multiples it would be 742 x 2
On splitting 371 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 53 x 7.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
