2 x 37
This is the act of breaking a number into its prime factorisation, then representing the result as the product of prime powers.For example, the number 72:


72 = 2*36

= 2*2*18

= 2*2*2*9

= 2*2*2*3*3


Then represent it as powers:


2*2*2*3*3 = 23* 32= 72


A nice easy one is 1024, which is 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2, or 210.
