Given number is 868
The factor tree of 868 is as follows:
| 868 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 434 | |||||||||
| 2 | 217 | |||||||||
| 7 | 31 | |||||||||

868 = 2 x 434
434 = 2 x 217
217 = 7 x 31
If we write into multiples it would be 868 x 2
On splitting 434 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 217 x 2.
On splitting 217 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 31 x 7.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
