A couple of methods that might help:
Times @@ Superscript @@@ FactorInteger[40]
or
Times @@ (HoldForm[Power[##]]&) @@@ FactorInteger[40]
Unfortunately, straightforward conversion of the output of these methods
into InputForm will probably not produce the simple text form you are
looking for. What is the simple text form of these outputs that you desire?
