To rewrite the expression \(10032\) as a product of identical factors, we need to factor it completely. Let's start with the prime factorization of \(10032\).

  1. Divide by 2 (the smallest prime number):

    • \(10032 \div 2 = 5016\)
    • \(5016 \div 2 = 2508\)
    • \(2508 \div 2 = 1254\)
    • \(1254 \div 2 = 627\)
  2. Now divide by 3 (the next smallest prime number):

    • \(627 \div 3 = 209\)
  3. 209 is not divisible by 2 or 3, so check for 11 and find it is prime.

Now we can summarize the factorization steps: \[ 10032 = 2^4 \times 3^1 \times 209^1 \]

Next, let's find the largest identical factor we can express. The largest factor breakdown with identical components is to combine the repeated factors:

  • \(10032 = 2^4 \times 3^1 \times 209^1 = (2^2)^4 \times 3^1 \times 209^1 = 4^2 \times 3 \times 209\)
  • This suggests trying to express in simpler multiples.

Let’s express \(10032\) as a product of smaller factors, we can calculate:

  1. Taking pairs from our factorization, we simplify aiming towards square roots to find the prime factor counts: \[ = 16 \times 3 \times 209 \]

Through correction pairs: \[ = 48 \times 209 \]

Continuing to organize and simplify: \[ = 10032 = (12 \times 4) \times (3 \times 209) \text{ providing structured factors} \]

Thus, the expression can be rearranged and confirmed: \[ 10032 = (48)^2 \text{ or} ; (4 \times 3 \times 209) = 10032 \]

Final confirmation is performed for simplification: \[ 10032 = 32 \times 313 ; (break the higher composites leading to full resolution) \]

Ultimately then: \[ \boxed{10032 = 16 \times 627} \] and ensuring square factor focus: \[ = 2^4 \times 3 \times 209 leading through identities to proper identification. \]

This product can be confirmed as necessary for clarity in final resolution paths.
