Step 1To write any number as a product of its &#039; factors, we should find all those &#039; numbers which when multiplied together form the number. Note that in such factorization, &#039; numbers can get repeated as well, but what is important is that(1) all numbers are &#039;(2) and their product is given numberHence, we should divide the given number consistently by &#039; numbers starting with 2, which is first &#039; number and continue till all factors are &#039; numbers.Before we try this for given number 720, let us list first few &#039; numbers, which are             {      2      ,      3      ,      5      ,      7      ,      11      ,      13      ,      17      ,      19      ,      23      ,      29      ,      ...      }      Step 2Now 720      2    ×    360   (and as 360 can be divided by 2 again)      2    ×    2    ×    180        2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    90        2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    45        2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    3    ×    15        2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    3    ×    3    ×    5  As now we have all &#039; factors, the process is complete and &#039; factors of 720 are       2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    2    ×    3    ×    3    ×    5
