$\"720%2F2=360%2F2=180%2F2=90%2F2=45\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since 45 is not divisible by 2, then you stop.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"720=2%5E4%2A45\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now continue with 45 and division by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"45%2F3=15%2F3=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since 5 is not divisible by 3, then you stop.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"720=2%5E4%2A3%5E2%2A5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now continue with 5, although it's obvious.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F5=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+720=2%5E4%2A3%5E2%2A5%5E1+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
