The function fa below is a slightly shortened version of
the function fa given in [mg700]:

   fa[1] := "1"

   fa[n_Integer] := 
    StringDrop[ StringJoin[ Flatten[Map[ToString, FactorInteger[n], {2}] /. 
       {a_String, b_} :> {a, b /.{"1" -> "*", x_ -> "^"<> x <> "*"}} ] ], -1]
                


In[3]:= fa[9009]

Out[3]= 3^2*7*11*13

In[4]:= fa[129348]

Out[4]= 2^2*3^2*3593
