Write a number as prime factors means to write the number as a product of numbers, all of which are prime. We start by checking whether the number is divisible by prime numbers, starting from the smallest prime number,2.
let's divide 24 into its factors.
first, it's even, so it must divide by 2
24=2*12
12 is also even, so it must divide by 2:
24=2*12=2*2*6
6 is also even, so it must divide by 2:
24=2*12=2*2*6=2*2*2*3
3 is not even, but it's a prime number.
so the solution is
2*2*2*3
You can do 4 to the second power and 4×4 equals 16
