Explain the pattern and find the next five rows.

Hint: the symbols I chose have nothing to do with the pattern.

14 x=x=x===x=x=x=
15 x=x==xx==x=xx=
16 +=
17 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=
18 like 6, 12 ,24

Except for the rows that are exact powers, at every sequential location after the first "x"(mandatory) a "=" is placed if the numbers representing both the row and the location have a common prime divider, else "x". If there is a common composite divider STOP at that "=".
For the rows that are exact powers stop after the 1st "=" .
