Given number is 8500
The factor tree of 8500 is as follows:
| 8500 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 4250 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 2125 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 425 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 85 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 17 | ||||||||||
8500 = 2 x 4250
4250 = 2 x 2125
2125 = 5 x 425
425 = 5 x 85
85 = 5 x 17
If we write into multiples it would be 8500 x 2
On splitting 4250 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 2125 x 2.
On splitting 2125 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 425 x 5.
On splitting 425 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 85 x 5.
On splitting 85 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
