Use the symbolic coammnd "factor".

You can't have a superscript as part of the name. Guess it would also be too easy to mix it up with exponantiation anyway.

Either use the Symbolic Keyword Toolbar

or type the keyboard shortcut Strg & Shift & . and type in factor manually.

Then right klick the expression and chose "Hide keywords" and chose "View Evaluation As" - "Equal Sign".
