Given number is 8720
The factor tree of 8720 is as follows:
| 8720 | |||||||||||
| 2 | 4360 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 2180 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 1090 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 545 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 109 | ||||||||||
8720 = 2 x 4360
4360 = 2 x 2180
2180 = 2 x 1090
1090 = 2 x 545
545 = 5 x 109
If we write into multiples it would be 8720 x 2
On splitting 4360 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 2180 x 2.
On splitting 2180 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1090 x 2.
On splitting 1090 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 545 x 2.
On splitting 545 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 109 x 5.
