Factoring a positive integer into a product of primes. This is a teaching problem with multiple parts.
Its object is to show you how to factor positive integers.
When you complete a part and are told that your answers are correct then
click to go on to the next part and resubmit your answer.
When you do this ignore the statement that there are unanswered questions
and just answer the new questions.

Suppose you want to factor the number 5544.
How would you start?

An approach that will always work is to check for prime factors one at a time,
starting with the smallest prime 2. If a integer is divisible by 2 it ends with either 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

If 5544 is divisible by 2 then put a 2 in the first answer box and 5544 divided by 2 in the second,
otherwise put a 1 in the first answer box and 5544 in the second.
