You find one factor - for example 2, or 3 - and divide the number by this factor, to get the other factor; for example:

96 = 3 x 32

Then you verify whether any of the factors so far can be factored any further; for example, a factor of 32 is 4:

96 = 3 x 4 x 8

... and continue until none of the factors can be split into any smaller factors.
