Given number is 8721
The factor tree of 8721 is as follows:
| 8721 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 2907 | |||||||||
| 3 | 969 | |||||||||
| 3 | 323 | |||||||||
| 17 | 19 | |||||||||
8721 = 3 x 2907
2907 = 3 x 969
969 = 3 x 323
323 = 17 x 19
If we write into multiples it would be 8721 x 3
On splitting 2907 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 969 x 3.
On splitting 969 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 323 x 3.
On splitting 323 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 19 x 17.
