for loop

[enemy]

Hello!
Please, what is wrong with the loop?
Why is this loop writing out 1 and not 5???

// skrajšanje vlomkov

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

int a= 10;
int b=6;

int e;
if (a<b){e=a;}
else
{e=b;}
for (int i=2; i<=e; i++)
{

if (a%i==0)
{
a/=i;
}


}

 cout << a;                  
return 0;
}

it does write out 5's if you do it like this:

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

int a= 10;
int b=6;
int e;

if (a<b)
{
	e=a;
}
else
{
	e=b; // e is 6
}
for ( int i = 2 ; i <= e ; ++i )
{

if (a % i == 0)
{
a/=i;
}

 cout << a <<" "; 
}
          
 return 0;
}

would help if you tell us what exactly are you trying to achieve with this simple for loop.
