# --description--

Os fatores primos de 13195 são 5, 7, 13 e 29.

Qual é o maior fator primo do parâmetro `number`?

# --hints--

`largestPrimeFactor(2)` deve retornar um número.

```js
assert(typeof largestPrimeFactor(2) === 'number');
```

`largestPrimeFactor(2)` deve retornar 2.

```js
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(2), 2);
```

`largestPrimeFactor(3)` deve retornar 3.

```js
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(3), 3);
```

`largestPrimeFactor(5)` deve retornar 5.

```js
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(5), 5);
```

`largestPrimeFactor(7)` deve retornar 7.

```js
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(7), 7);
```

`largestPrimeFactor(8)` deve retornar 2.

```js
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(8), 2);
```

`largestPrimeFactor(13195)` deve retornar 29.

```js
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(13195), 29);
```

`largestPrimeFactor(600851475143)` deve retornar 6857.

```js
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(600851475143), 6857);
```

# --seed--

## --seed-contents--

```js
function largestPrimeFactor(number) {

  return true;
}

largestPrimeFactor(13195);
```

# --solutions--

```js
const largestPrimeFactor = (number) => {
  let largestFactor = number;

  for (let i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(largestFactor); i++) {
    if (!(largestFactor % i)) {
      let factor = largestFactor / i;
      let candidate = largestPrimeFactor(factor);

      return i > candidate ? i : candidate;
    }
  }

  return largestFactor;
}
```
