Prime Factorization by the Ladder Method:
20,000 is divisible by 2, 20,000/2 = 10,000
10,000 is divisible by 2, 10,000/2 = 5,000
5,000 is divisible by 2, 5,000/2 = 2,500
2,500 is divisible by 2, 2,500/2 = 1,250
1,250 is divisible by 2, 1,250/2 = 625
625 is divisible by 5, 625/5 = 125
125 is divisible by 5, 125/5 = 25
25 is divisible by 5, 25/5 = 5
5 is a prime number
