List each prime factor in a multiplication statement, then raise them to a power however many times are necessary to make the number.

E.g. the prime factors of 120 are 2, 3 and 5. Listing these in a multiplication statement is 2 x 3 x 5. Giving each a power so the product will equal the number makes the statement 23 x 3 x 5.
