Factor Tree of 996

Given number is 996
The factor tree of 996 is as follows:

	996
2		498
	2		249
		3		83

996 = 2 x 498

498 = 2 x 249

249 = 3 x 83

If we write into multiples it would be 996 x 2

On splitting 498 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 249 x 2.

On splitting 249 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 83 x 3.
