题解：

Let the given number be n and let k = 2, 3, 4, 5, ... . For each k, if it is a factor of n then we divide n by k and completely divide out each k before moving to the next k. It can be seen that when k is a factor it will necessarily be prime, as all smaller factors have been removed, andthe final result of this process will be n = 1.

代码：

#include <bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;long long num = 600851475143ll;int main(){long long i, max = 1;for(i = 2; i * i <= num; i++){if(num % i == 0){max = i;while(num % i == 0) num /= i;}  if(num > 1) max = num;}cout<<max<<endl;return 0;}
