#2xx3xx5xx5toG#

Explanation:

#"using the prime numbers "2,3,5,7,...#

#• " divide the number by 2"#

#• " if the quotient is 1 then finish"#

#• " if not repeat "#

#• " if 2 does not divide move onto 3"#

#• " repeat until a quotient of 1 is reached"#

#150-:color(red)(2)=75larrcolor(blue)"move to 3"#

#>75-:color(red)(3)=25larrcolor(blue)"move to 5"#

#25-:color(red)(5)=5larrcolor(blue)"repeat with 5"#

#5-:color(red)(5)=1larrcolor(blue)"quotient of 1 reached"#

#150=color(red)(2)xxcolor(red)(3)xxcolor(red)(5)xxcolor(red)(5)toG#
