I'll do the first 2 and 6, and I challenge you to do the other three on your own!

For 1, from some guess and check we can figure out that 5*5=25. Since 5 is a prime number, that's it!

For 2, we can figure out that 7*7=49 and 7 is a prime number, so we're good there.

From 6, we can do some guess and check to figure out that 2*24=48, 2*12=24, 2*6=12, and 2*3=6, resulting in 2*2*2*2*3=48 since 2 and 3 are prime numbers. We found out, for example, to find 2*12 due to that if 2*24=48, 2*24 is our current factorization. By finding 2*12=24, we can switch it to 2*2*12
