Given number is 966
The factor tree of 966 is as follows:
966 | ||||||||||
2 | 483 | |||||||||
3 | 161 | |||||||||
7 | 23 | |||||||||
966 = 2 x 483
483 = 3 x 161
161 = 7 x 23
If we write into multiples it would be 966 x 2
On splitting 483 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 161 x 3.
On splitting 161 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 23 x 7.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
