All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.
Example: 210
210 Divide by two.
105,2 Divide by three.
35,3,2 Divide by five.
7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
That's the prime factorization of 210.

What is it called when you write a composite number as a product of its primes?
It is called the prime factorisation (or prime decomposition) of the composite number.
Write the number 728 in prime factorization?
The prime factorization of 728 is: 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 13
What do they mean write the prime factorization?
The mean write the number as an expression of its prime factors. The prime factors of 210 are 2, 3, 5 and 7. 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 is the prime factorization of 210.
