By the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, all number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers.
So naturally, lets divide 120 by an easy prime number.
We know that 120 is even, so lets try 2 120/2 = 60 lets keep dividing it by two until it becomes odd or prime 60/2 = 30 30/2 = 15 now lets see, what are some factors of 15?
Well the obvious ones are 3 and 5, both of which are prime. So now we can just count up how many times we divided it by 2
120/2 = 60 60/2 = 30 30/2 = 15 and 15 is just 3 x 5, so:
120 = (23) * (3) * (5)
or
120 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5
