Express 160 as a product of its prime factors

Divide 160 by 2 as many times as you can to get 80x2, 40x2x2, 20x2x2x2, 10x2x2x2x2, 5x2x2x2x2x2. Then re-write your answer so that it is 5x2^5. If you're struggling to divide by 2 and keep track of how many times you have divided, use a factor tree to help you visualise it more.
