3 The prime factorisation of 45 is 32 × 51.
In general, the prime factorisation of an integer n ≥ 2 is of the form

p1a1 × p2 a2 × p3a3 × ...× pk ak ,

where p1, p2, …, pk are different prime numbers and a1, a2, …, ak are positive integers.
Given an input of an integer n ≥ 2, the Barbeau Process outputs the number equal to
