Visual Basic Program to find the smallest factors of an integer

Given an integer, factor it into smallest factors and display them. Example: given "600" as the input, display "2^3 3 5^2" as the answer where the caret "^" represents the exponent marker. This result thus states that 600 = (2 to the power 3) times (3) times (5 to the power 2). I have no clue on how to do this. Is there anyone who is good in math that can take on this problem? Thanks, ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) The program used has to be Visual Basic 6.0. ## Platform The program needs to work on Windows XP, and Windows in general. The program needs to use Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. ## Deadline information The whole program must be completed by Dec. 16th, 2002.
