5*3*3*3

Explanation:

If 135 is divided by 5 then the answer will be 27, so 135 can be written as 5*color(red)27

color(red)27 is the same as color(red)(9*3), so 5*color(red)27 can be written as 5*color(red)(color(green)9*3)

color(green)9 is the same as color(green)(3*3) so 5*color(green)9*3 can be written as 5*color(green)(3*3)*3

The final answer is 5*3*3*3 because it can't be broken down more (they all are prime numbers) and this is called prime factorization
