72 = 32 × 22
Use your answer to express these numbers as products of prime factors.
Explain your reasoning.
144
144 = 72 × 2
144 = 32 × 22 × 2
144 = 32 × 23
216
216 = 72 × 3
216 = 32 × 22 × 3
216 = 33 × 22
720
720 = 72 × 10
720 = 32 × 22 × 2 × 5
720 = 32 × 23 × 5
360
360 = 72 × 5
720 = 32 × 22 × 5
720 = 32 × 22 × 5
