    New to C, printing arrays

    I am attempting to write a simple program that prints all factors of a number entered from a user. I am trying to limit my printing to
    5 factors per line. I am experimenting with an array, I am new to C, can anyone offer any suggestions? The code follows:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    void main(void)
    {
    int number, decrease, arrFact[1000];

    clrscr();

    printf("PLEASE ENTER A NUMBER: ");
    scanf("%d", &number);
    if ((number % 2 !=0 )&&(number %3 !=0)&&(number%5!= 0))
    {printf("This number is prime.");}
    else
    {printf("\nTHANK YOU, THE FACTORS OF %d ARE: ", number);}


    for(decrease=number; decrease >= 2; decrease--) //Loop Counter for factors
    { if(number % decrease == 0)
    {arrFact[decrease]=decrease;
    printf("%d, ", arrFact[decrease]);
    }

    //attempting to print 5 factors per line Help!!
    }

    printf("\n and 1");

    }

    Smile A suggestion

    Since you are new to C, use a loop to attempt to do it. The move up to using arrays.

    Also, why are you checking in your if statement if it is divisible by 3 or 5. You do not need to.

    Check to make sure you understand how to find the factors of a number.

    I gave my Java students a problem similar to this.

    Mr. C.
