  • The programme was fun, but judge the accuracy of the notes from the following extract. However, there are some good pointers.
    For example, if you take 3337 - a prime number (i.e. a number that has precisely two divisors) - how would you find its two prime factors? (They are, in fact, 47 and 71.)
