#-38mnp = (-2xx19xxmxxnxxp)#

Explanation:

Prime factorisation can also be called writing in expanded form.

#-38mnp = -(2xx19xxmxxnxxp)#

A single variable such as #x# can be regarded as prime, because without knowing a value which it represents, it can only be written as: #x = 1 xx x# There are only 2 factors.

Note: no negative numbers are prime.
