How to solve it (Factors come in pairs): Find factors in pairs: 1 × N, 2 × …, 3 × …, until the pairs meet. Prime factorisation: keep dividing by the smallest prime that works, then group equal primes as powers. 1 is not a prime; 2 is the only even prime. To test a number, try dividing by the primes up to its square root.
