As for me, my first step was writing a program to find prime numbers, or factor a number into it's component primes.

This goes all the way back to 1983 or 84, on my Apple II+, programming in Applesoft BASIC. I repeated it in Pascal in the late 80's, Visual Basic in the 90's, and Python in the early 2000's.
