Need help with a c++ exercise

asked Jan 14 by Ascentrix X (200 points)
I need to write a program in C++ that determines the biggest power that a number appears to in the prime factorization of an "n" number.

What I did so far:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int n, d = 2, p;
    cin >> n;
    
    while(n != 1)
    {
        p = 0;
        
        while(n % d == 0)
        {
            p++;
            n = n / d;
        }
        if(p > 0)
        {
            cout << d << " to the power of " << p << endl;
        }
        d++;
        
    }

    return 0;
}

So far so good.

You just need to remember the highest p and d pars and print only these at the end.

Do you have any questions?

Good luck!
