Jeez Louise, you turn missing the point into an art form.

(Here's a hint for you: There is a very obvious way to factor an RSA
number which involves looping through a tremendous number of
something. That obvious way is guaranteed to find all the factors of
the RSA number. So why do you suppose nobody has done so yet?)
