", "advice": "For any number $n$ we know 1 and $n$ will always be factors. We will work out the rest of the factors by testing which numbers divide {Number}.
\nFirst try dividing by 2, if this does not work then try 3, then 4 and so on. (In fact, to find the first factor you only need to check the prime numbers 2,3,5,7,...).
\nAfter 1, the first number which divides {Number} is {Factors[1]}. This means that both {Factors[1]} and {Number/Factors[1]} are factors. We can now speed up the process of looking for factors of {Number} by looking for factors of {Number/Factors[1]} instead. Make sure to remember that if $x$ is a factor of {Number/Factors[1]} then both $x$ and $\\var{Factors[1]}\\times x$ are factors of {Number}!
\nWe only need to look for factors up to $\\sqrt{\\var{Number}}$. Once you have done this you should have the full list of factors {AnswersAsString}.
