Let's try to find some primes that divide this number.
The number is not divisible by 2, because it is odd.
The number is divisible by 3 though, because the sum of its digits is:
So, we can divide the number by 3 and keep going with the factorization:
This number is again divisible by 3, because
We have
This number is no longer divisible by 3. Let's go on looking for primes that divide it: 5 doesn't because the number doesn't end in 0 nor 5. This number is not divisible by 7 or 11 either (just try). It is divisible by 13 though: we have
And 557 is prime, so we're done. This means that the prime factorization of 65169 is
