Express n as a product of its prime factors
To express n as a product of its prime factors, we need to find all the prime numbers that divide n and multiply them together.
For example, let's say n = 12.
The prime factors of 12 are 2 and 3. We can write 12 as a product of its prime factors as:
n = 2 * 2 * 3
So, 12 can be expressed as 2^2 * 3, where ^ denotes exponentiation.
Therefore, n = 2^2 * 3 is the expression of 12 as a product of its prime factors.
