I am not really sure what you mean but prime numbers but the prime factorization of 972 is 2x2x3x3x3x3x3
To write a composite whole number as the product of its prime factors is to write its prime factorization.
It means splitting the number into the primes that when multiplied together make the original number. For example the prime factorisation of 28 is 2 x 2 x 7 since 2 x 2 x 7 = 28. This prime factorization of 28 could be written as 22 x 7 using powers to collate (collect together) multiple copies of the same prime.
== Will you please answer my question?! Will you please answer my question?! == In number theory ( http://www.answers.com/topic/number-theory ), integer factorization is the process of breaking down a composite number ( http://www.answers.com/topic/composite-number ) into smaller non-trivial integers ( http://www.answers.com/topic/divisor-2 ), which when multiplied together equal the original integer. Source:integer-factorization== The prime factors of a positive integer are the prime numbers that divide into that integer exactly, without leaving a remainder.The process of finding these numbers is called integer factorization, or prime factorization.

All composite numbers can be expressed as the product of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this. Example: 30 30 Divide by two. 15,2 Divide by three. 5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime. 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 That's the prime factorization of 30.
The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 With exponents, that's 2^3 x 3^2
Exponents are a way to notate repeated factors. The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. Using exponents, that's 2^3 x 3^2.
I assume you mean to find the prime factorization of 405. If so: 34 x 5
If you mean: 25*55 in exponents then the number is 100,000
If you mean 81 then as a product of its prime factors 3*3*3*3 = 81 or in exponents 3^4 = 81
When asked for a factorization, it is generally understood to mean the prime factorization.
Do you mean, "What is the prime factorization of 21?"

Prime factorization is a way of writing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. The prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3. 2 x 3 is the prime factorization of 6.
Express them as a product of their prime factors; give the prime factorization. Example: 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
If you mean 10,000 squared then it is: 2^8 times 5^8 = 100,000,000
if asking what I think... What does "Find the prime factorization of the number. Use exponents when possible." mean? First find the prime factors. Express the number as the product of only prime numbers. For example, 835210 after you find the answer it would be 2 x 5 x 17 x 17 x 17 x 17 and it would be easier to write 2 x 5 x 17 with the little 4 next to the 17: 835210 = 2 x 5 x 174
