CODING CHALLENGE #2 !! - Algorithm that does prime factorisation!!

I am going to give you an example... 64... Is divided by 2 and 32, 2 is already prime so leave it for now... 32 can be divided in 4 and 8... 4 can be divided in 2 and 2, so lets leave these numbers... 8 can be divided in 4 and 2... In the end 4 can be divided in 2 and 2... We got 6 twos, so the prime factorisation of 64 is 2 to the power of 6 or 2**6... It can be done in any language!! No google or stackoverflow.com :)

@Yash, @Nikolay They are correct, but you are late :/. @Gagan HTML is a markup language, so no xD

it can be done for small numbers but not for all because the set of primes is infinite. state some limitations please

@Giannis Tsirovasilis Yea, yours is nice too. Tip: You only have to go until and inclusive the square root of the number to check if a number is prime :) (Do calculate it before you enter the for loop to prevent calculating it every iteration)

@Dennis yeah i know but that would have problem if the number was 3 for example so because i was bored i let it like that xD thanks though

@Meharban look at my code and check how i find that a number is prime.
