⟶ 2³ × 3² is the prime factorization for which one of these choices?

Let's check,

1) 6 = 3 × 2 [So, obviously not this choice]

2) 25 = 5 × 5 = 5² [Not this either]

3) 36 = 3 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 3² × 2² [Doesn't match with 2³ × 3²]

4) 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2³ × 3² [Matches]

⟶ The answer is, choice 72.
