Given number is 8672
The factor tree of 8672 is as follows:
| 8672 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 4336 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 2168 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1084 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 542 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 271 | ||||||||||
8672 = 2 x 4336
4336 = 2 x 2168
2168 = 2 x 1084
1084 = 2 x 542
542 = 2 x 271
If we write into multiples it would be 8672 x 2
