I could probably do it on a computer with between 10 and 20 lines of code using 4th grade mathematics.

I'm certain I could do numbers less than 200 in under 20 minutes, probably also numbers less than 1000. Numbers of the order of $10^200$ would probably defeat me, even if the factors were quite small. Last edited by v8archie; April 17th, 2017 at 02:11 PM.
