Let's find the prime factors of 60

We just keep finding any factors until we can no longer split them. Let's start with 6 and 10

6 can still be split into 3 times 2. 10 can be split into 5 times 2.

But 3, 2, and 5 cannot be factored any further. They are prime numbers. So 60 is equal to 3 times 2 times 5 times 2
