You can use either, so technically you don't "need" one or the other.

HOWEVER, for large numbers, Euclid's division algorithm is much faster... INCREDIBLY faster. It gets you the result almost immediately, whereas looking for prime factors of large numbers can take you a long, long time.

What times 5 is the factorization of 72?

Factorization of 725 will not divide evenly in 72, so it is not in the factorization. An easy way to know if a number is divisible by 5 is to look at the digit in the ones place. If it is 0 or 5, it is divisible by 5. If any other number is in the one's place, the number is not divisible by 5.
