Why do you need Euclid's division algorithm in place of prime factorization?

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.

How are the expanded algorithm and the standard algorithm alike?
The expanded algorithm makes use of the partial products to fully explain place value in multiplication. The standard algorithm which is most commonly used is considered superior and less confusing.
What is the algorithm of 648 divided by 4?

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.
How do you find the common factor in fraction division?
To simplify a multiplication or division involving fractions, you need to find common factors. For small numbers, you might just try to do a complete factorization of each of the numbers involved. It's best not to multiply them in the first place; it doesn't really make sense to multiply and then factorize again. For larger numbers, you can use Euclid's algorithm to find the greatest common factor.
