factoring
breaking a number into its prime factors e.g. 19480204 = 2 * 2 * 37 * 43 * 3061. Mitch Gallant has posted a factoring Applet that uses BigInteger. If there is only one factor, you know the number is prime. Much of public/private key cryptography depends upon the difficulty of factoring very large numbers.
