But I need to change this, the items are ordered, so they can't be a Set.
Hmmm not quite sure, maybe I do need BigInts?
I thought for sure that would work :(
Was hoping these would eventually cycle around but nope, always have huge numbers that take forever to factor

The first real hard one. I was overthinking it, and unfortunately had to get help from the solutions thread for part two.
I originally was trying to store just the individual prime factors of the number, thinking that'd keep the number from exploding. Additionally, I could immediately take the square operation
