Largest prime factor

Largest prime factor is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Task

The task description is taken for Project Euler (https://projecteuler.net/problem=3)
What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143 ?

R

First uses the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find possible factors then tests each possible prime p for divisibility and also n/p.

sieve <- function(n) {
    if (n < 2)
        return (NULL)
    
    primes <- rep(TRUE, n)
    primes[1] <- FALSE

    for (i in 1:floor(sqrt(n)))
        if (primes[i])
            primes[seq(i*i, n, by = i)] <- FALSE
 
    which(primes)
}

prime.factors <- function(n) {
    primes <- sieve(floor(sqrt(n)))
    factors <- primes[n %% primes == 0]
    if (length(factors) == 0)
        n
    else {
        for (p in factors) { # add all elements of n/p that are also prime
            d <- n / p
            if (d != p && all(d %% primes[primes <= floor(sqrt(d))] != 0))
                factors <- c(factors, d)
        }
        factors
    }
}

cat("The prime factors of 600,851,475,143 are", paste(prime.factors(600851475143), collapse = ", "), "\n")

Output:

The prime factors of 600,851,475,143 are 71, 839, 1471, 6857

Particularly fast

Using Perl 5 ntheory library via Inline::Perl5. Makes it to about 2^155 - 1 in 1 second on my system. Varies from 2^145-1 (lowest seen) to 2^168-1 (highest seen).

use Inline::Perl5;
my $p5 = Inline::Perl5.new();

my &lpf = $p5.run('sub { ntheory::todigitstring ntheory::vecmax ntheory::factor $_[0] }');

my $start = now;

    say "Largest prime factor of $_: ", lpf "$_";
    last if now - $start > 1; # quit after one second of total run time
