Well first you figure out what two factors of 96 are. Lets go with 8 and 12.

Then, you find two factors of both of these numbers because they are not prime. Two factors of 8 are 2 and 4, and two factors of 12 are 2 and 6.

So now you have two 2's, a 4, and a 6. Since 2 is prime, you do not use prime factorization on it. Instead, you use prime factorization to get two more 2's from 4 and a 2 and 3 from six.

Final answer: 2x2x2x2x2x3 or 2 to the fifth power times 3
