Python Project Euler 3

Project Euler is a collection of challenging computational problems intended to be solved with computer programs. Problem 3 asks for the largest prime factor of a given number. In this tutorial, we'll walk through solving Project Euler Problem 3 using Python.
The problem statement for Project Euler 3 is as follows:
The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13, and 29. What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143?
To find the largest prime factor of a number, we can use the following steps:
Here's a Python implementation of the solution:
The largest_prime_factor function takes a number n as its argument. It initializes a variable i to 2 and enters a while loop. In each iteration, it checks if n is divisible by i. If it is, it divides n by i. If not, it increments i by 1. This process continues until i * i is greater than n. The final value of n is the largest prime factor.
Replace given_number with the number mentioned in the problem statement (600851475143) or any other number you want to test. Run the script to find the largest prime factor of the given number.
This tutorial demonstrated a simple and efficient way to find the largest prime factor of a given number using Python. The approach used here is based on the fundamental concept of prime factorization. Project Euler problems are an excellent way to enhance your problem-solving skills and algorithmic thinking.
