#pragma GCC optimization("unroll-loops")
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
static const int _=[](){ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(nullptr);cout.tie(nullptr);return 0;}();
int main() {
long n = 600851475143;
int result = 0;
int i = 2;
while (n > 1) {
while (n % i == 0) {
n /= i;
result = max(result, i);
}
++i;
}
cout << result << endl;
