Given number is 8372
The factor tree of 8372 is as follows:
| 8372 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 4186 | |||||||||
| 2 | 2093 | |||||||||
| 7 | 299 | |||||||||
| 13 | 23 | |||||||||
8372 = 2 x 4186
4186 = 2 x 2093
2093 = 7 x 299
299 = 13 x 23
If we write into multiples it would be 8372 x 2
On splitting 4186 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 2093 x 2.
