Simple Prime Factors Program

[programgirl]

I need some help. Im just a begginer at programming. We started looping and i am stuck on one program. using dev C++. its to find prime numbers. this is what i have:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

int number=0;
int counter=2;

cout<<"Enter a number: ";
cin>>number;
while (counter<=number) {
if (counter%2==0){
cout<<counter<<" ";
number=number/counter;
}
else (counter%2==1); {
counter=counter+1;
}
}


system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


The example we were given was the number 140. The answer should be: 2 2 5 7. Mine outputs the numbers: 2 4 6

can anyone tell me whats wrong? keeping it simple because i am a begginer?

Thank You!

Can you try the below code:

#include<iostream>
#include <conio.h> 
using namespace std;
int main()
{

int i, n;
int fact=1;
cout<<"\nEnter a number: ";
cin>>n;
for(i=n ; i>=1 ; i--)
act = fact*i;
cout<<"The factoral value is: "<<fact;
getch();
return 0;
}#include<iostream>
#include <conio.h> 
<strong class="highlight">using</strong> namespace std;
int main()
{

int i, n;
int fact=1;
cout<<"\nEnter a number: ";
cin>>n;
for(i=n ; i>=1 ; i--)
fact = fact*i;
cout<<"The factoral value is: "<<fact;
getch();
return 0;
}
