For moderately large numbers, N, you can try dividing by prime numbers up to the square root of N. Each time you find a factor, f, you replace N by N/f, and continue with primes from f onwards.
However, this method is impractical for really large numbers: ones that are the product of two primes, each a hundred digits long, for example. And that is why such numbers are used for encryption (codes).

Why do you need to know all of the factors to a number to know if it is a prime or composite number?
You don't.If you know just one factor, other than 1 and the number itself, you will know that the number is composite.A prime has only two factors: 1 and itself. So all the factors is no big deal.

How do you find factors of a big odd number if it is composite 1757051 equals 1291 x 1361?
I would say that 1757051 would be difficult to factor, except you did it just fine. Since 1291 and 1361 are both prime, they are the only proper factors. The process of factorization is the same for big numbers as small numbers. Use a factor tree to find the prime factorization. Once you have that, you can find the number of factors and have a pretty good idea of where to look for them. For people desiring a short cut, there are many fine factor calculators online.

What are the methods in finding the GCF of numbers?
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) you can use one of a few methods. One way (which i think is the hardest) you list all the factors of those two numbers. Another way is to just multiply the numbers together. Now, if you have big numbers, these steps might be a little complicated or harder to do, but if you want to list all the factors of that number, go right ahead.
