There is no easy way. You can keep dividing the number by 2 but then you could be left with a large number which may be the product of two very large primes. There is no simple way to find the factors of such a composite number, and that is why they are used for data encryption.

Is 6 a factor of 492 explain how you know?
Yes, 6 is a factor of 492. If you divide 492 by 6 you get 82 with no remainder. The fact that there was no remainder means that the first number is a factor of the second number. Taking this to the obvious conclusion; the prime factors of 492 are 2, 2, 3, and 41. 6 is 2 times 3, so it is a non prime factor, but it is a factor nontheless.
