First, the square root of 210 is less than 15, so the tools we will need are the prime numbers less than 15. These are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.

To begin, we will divide 210 by 2.

210/2 = 105, which is an integer, so write "2" and continue.

Now we try 3.

105/3 = 35, which is also an integer, so write "3" and continue.

Now we try 5.

35/5 = 7, which is also an integer, so write "5" and continue.

We know 7 is prime...

Working backwards, we have 210 = 2*3*5*7.

Note that if one of these did not divide 210, we would have to skip it and "try again" with the next known prime. If none divided 210, then 210 would be prime.
