Given number is 8520
The factor tree of 8520 is as follows:
| 8520 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 4260 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 2130 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1065 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 355 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 71 | ||||||||||
8520 = 2 x 4260
4260 = 2 x 2130
2130 = 2 x 1065
1065 = 3 x 355
355 = 5 x 71
If we write into multiples it would be 8520 x 2
On splitting 4260 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 2130 x 2.
On splitting 2130 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1065 x 2.
On splitting 1065 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 355 x 3.
On splitting 355 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 71 x 5.
