Step 1If you are at loss, how to start with this kind of a task, you can always start with checking if the number can be divided by 2.(Reminder: all numbers which have an even last digit are dividable by 2.)So,      360    =    2    ⋅    180  Let&#039;s go further: 180 is dividable by 2 again:      360    =    2    ⋅    180    =    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    90  You can divide by 2 once more:      360    =    2    ⋅    180    =    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    90    =    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    45  Now, 45 has a 5 as an odd last digit, so it is not dividable by 2 anymore.However, as the last digit is a 5, it is can be divided by 5:      360    =    2    ⋅    180    =    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    90    =    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    5    ⋅    9  Now, the last thing to do is determining that 9 is dividable by 3:      360    =    2    ⋅    180    =    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    90    =    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    2    ⋅    5    ⋅    3    ⋅    3        =          2      3        ⋅          3      2        ⋅    5
