# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`largestPrimeFactor(2)` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof largestPrimeFactor(2) === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`largestPrimeFactor(2)` should return 2.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(2), 2);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`largestPrimeFactor(3)` should return 3.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(3), 3);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`largestPrimeFactor(5)` should return 5.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(5), 5);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`largestPrimeFactor(7)` should return 7.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(7), 7);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`largestPrimeFactor(8)` should return 2.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(8), 2);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`largestPrimeFactor(13195)` should return 29.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(largestPrimeFactor(13195), 29);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`largestPrimeFactor(600851475143)` should return 6857.
|
|

let factor = largestFactor / i;
|
|
let candidate = largestPrimeFactor(factor);
|
|
|
|
return i > candidate ? i : candidate;
