Can't believe I'm saying this at age 26, but Ms. Quimby teaching me long division in 6th grade is about to pay off. Will send you the numbers when I get home.

It's only a 5$ game. You can of course use programs you wrote yourself, as long as you can explain the results in 1-2 sentences (and how your algorithm works, just because I am interested). :3
I decided to use a rather short number, though, so programs won't be necessary to solve the problem.

Hah, I did the same thing.
It's hacky as hell, won't handle large numbers, and will completely choke on incorrect input... but it works! :P

A very cheap one, yes, I guess, since you didn't make it yourself. But eh.
But I'd appreciate if you removed that link for others not to have such a cheap way out. :3
Edit: Wait...actually, only a solution if you can explain to me on how that script finds the primes.

How long until this giveaway ends? I want to try to write a program for this in Java, even though I just started studying it 2 weeks ago =P

Sent a mail. I hope that I clearly explained everything. I wrote the C++ program (it's really simple and took me 5 minutes - I remember it from school) ;)

Hmm, I'm tempted to write another solution in Haskell. Haven't written anything in that language for 5 years... :-)

Great idea. I send a couple emails because 1) I was lazy and brute forced in in Javascript and then felt bad and had to reimplement in Python and 2) I forgot to send you my steam profile name!
Thanks!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU'RE KILLING MEEEEE!!!!!!
As nerdy as i am, i simply HATE maths; even being a programmer i just refuse to do a program that allows me to factorize that :D, so good luck to everyone!!
(Yes, i'm a lazy programmer :3 )

Went with Perl. I was hoping to cram it into 2 or 3 lines somehow, but was eventually satisfied to get under a dozen. Sent.
Thanks for the giveaway :)
EDIT: I should mention that my algorithm is shit.

For fun I sent you the latest factorization, and a suggestion for any new numbers you might toss out.

The game in question is Sequence.
Simple task:
Factorise the number 233789. The solution was: 389, 601.
New number is: 23961491. The solution was: 3821, 6271.
Giveaway is over now.
Then mail me the prime factors (7892142@googlemail.com, include your username) and receive the link to the giveaway~.
I must ask that you add a little explanation on how you factorised it, since otherwise you just have taken the easy route and have used a CERTAIN online tool.
Enjoy. :3
