If your original number is even, divide by two. Keep doing that until the number turns odd. Use the rules of divisibility to figure out the next factor. Keep going until all the factors are prime. If you need to, use a factor tree to help you visualize.

Example: 2310.

2310

1155,2

385,3,2

77,5,3,2

11,7,5,3,2

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 = 2310

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
