Finding prime factors of 10368

10368=(2×2)×(2×2)×(2×2)×2×(3×3)×(3×3)10368 = (2 \times 2) \times (2 \times 2) \times (2 \times 2) \times 2 \times (3 \times 3) \times (3 \times 3)

Since the prime factor 2 is not in pair.

10368÷2=51845184=2×2×2×3×35184=7210368 ÷ 2 = 5184\\[1em] \sqrt{5184} = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3\\[1em] \sqrt{5184} = 72

2 should be divided by 10368 so that the 5184 is a perfect square and square root of 5184 is 72.
