Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To find the prime factorization of 72 using continuous division, you start by dividing 72 by the smallest Prime number, which is 2. Then, you keep dividing the quotients by prime numbers until you can't divide anymore. So, for 72, you would find that the prime factorization is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. Keep on painting those prime numbers, my friend!
