#3^2xx11#

Explanation:

Prime factorisation is the method of finding the primes that fit into the value given of 99, using multiples and then simplifying to get the primes.

Starting off I can easily notify that #99=33xx3#, while #3# is prime, that cannot be simplified further.

#33=11xx3# where both #11# and #3# are primed and cannot be simplified earlier.

#therefore# Prime factorisation of #99 =3xx3xx11#

Which can be simplified to:

#3^2xx11#
