Procedure:
1st take the square root of 4897 to determine the highest
possible factor.
sqrt(4897) is around 69.
2nd Divide by primes that are less than 69 like 67,61, etc:
Results: 4897/59 = 83
3rd look for factors of 83
sqrt(83) is around 9
4th 7 and 3 are not factors of 83
--------------------
Conclusion: 4897 = 59*83
