8960 = 2 x 4480
4480 = 2 x 2240
2240 = 2 x 1120
1120 = 2 x 560
560 = 2 x 280
280 = 2 x 140
140 = 2 x 70
70 = 2 x 35
35 = 5 x 7
If we write into multiples it would be 8960 x 2
On splitting 4480 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 2240 x 2.
On splitting 2240 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 1120 x 2.
On splitting 1120 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 560 x 2.
On splitting 560 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 280 x 2.
On splitting 280 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 140 x 2.
On splitting 140 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 70 x 2.
On splitting 70 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 35 x 2.
On splitting 35 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 5.
