Factor Tree of 960

Given number is 960
The factor tree of 960 is as follows:

	960
2		480
	2		240
		2		120
			2		60
				2		30
					2		15
						3		5

960 = 2 x 480

480 = 2 x 240

240 = 2 x 120

120 = 2 x 60

60 = 2 x 30

30 = 2 x 15

15 = 3 x 5

If we write into multiples it would be 960 x 2

On splitting 480 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 240 x 2.

On splitting 240 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 120 x 2.

On splitting 120 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 60 x 2.

On splitting 60 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 30 x 2.

On splitting 30 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 15 x 2.

On splitting 15 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 3.
