I used the same tool, I think. I didn't realise it had finished almost immediately - I thought it was still calculating or something!

I used Maple (Pollard's rho method). Time for calculation: 2.28s.

I had a hard time finding a tool that could do this with large numbers. Took me awhile to find the exact link you mentioned.

wau...in a blink mathematica told me...but i used gnu bc to calculate it

I used python...
it handles large numbers well and i simply wrote a program to increment divisors that matched some simple tests for integer factors and prime numbers. it came up with only six possible values.... just tried them all from there and found the answer

I just used Wolfram|Alpha 
Simple, but effective 
Also worked for about five other challenges.

use FactorInteger function in mathematica... so fast...

Maple and Matlab have factor() and Mathematica (so Wolfram Alpha too) has FactorInteger[] but simplest for people not familiar with any of those packages has got to be Wolfram Alpha as its free, online and spares you writing code There's also some web pages with factoring facilities but they aren't general purpose tools or plain amazing so probably aren't worth a mention
