simplest question i guess,
72 = 2*36
=2^2*18
=2^3*9
=2^3*3^2
so 72 = 2*2*2*3*3
just go on dividing by a least possible prime number

Well, first divide 72 by 2 and get 36, then divid that by 2 and get 18 and divide that by 2 and get 9 and divide that by 3 and get 3
So 72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

72 = 2 * 36 = 2 * 6 * 6 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 2^3 * 3^2
