What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143 ?

For help on the math aspects try Wikipedia.
Look up Prime factors...

  Would it be useful for me to buy a book, and if so what are some
easily accessible ones? I feel dive into python is just too advanced for me. I understand a lot of the teachings, but the examples seem unwieldy and esoteric.

If you have programmed before in any language just use the standard Python tutorial. If not choose one of the several tutorials on the Non Programmes beginners page.

Without knowing more about your personal needs and objectives its impossible
to be any more specific.
