Given number is 8472
The factor tree of 8472 is as follows:
| 8472 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 4236 | |||||||||
| 2 | 2118 | |||||||||
| 2 | 1059 | |||||||||
| 3 | 353 | |||||||||
8472 = 2 x 4236
4236 = 2 x 2118
2118 = 2 x 1059
1059 = 3 x 353
If we write into multiples it would be 8472 x 2
On splitting 4236 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 2118 x 2.
