Given a positive integer n, return a list of its prime factors in ascending order with repetition. For example, 12 = 2 x 2 x 3, so the result is [2, 2, 3]. For values of n less than or equal to 1, return an empty list.

Examples:

Input: n = 12 Output: [2, 2, 3] Explanation: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 Input: n = 7 Output: [7] Explanation: 7 is itself prime Input: n = 1 Output: [] Explanation: 1 has no prime factors Input: n = 100 Output: [2, 2, 5, 5] Explanation: 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 Input: n = 30 Output: [2, 3, 5] Explanation: 30 = 2 x 3 x 5
