According to number theory, to determine the prime factors of any number, N, it is only necessary to try dividing that number, N, by each known prime number which is less than or equal to the square root of N. In this instance, N = 53. The square root of 53 is about 7.1 (the precise decimal doesn't matter). We, therefore, need only check the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7. None of which are divisible into 53. Ergo, as everyone has said, 53 is prime.

If the input is 53, since it is a prime number, the output has only one factor: 53 itself.

53 is already a prime number, thus has no prime factors other than 1 and itself (53).
