ya, but each of the factors of 2013 is prime, so that's gotta mean something, right?

Isn't always possible to deconstruct the factors of a number in only primes?

I think ruttiger may mean that 2013 is the product of three unique primes (e.g. 30=2 * 3 * 5 would be another example, but 50=5^2 * 2 is not).
