Finding Largest Factor Using While Loop

Objective: Find largest factor of any input
For example:
>> out = largestfactor(15)
out = 5
I am using a while loop and if statement to perform this. I cannot figure out how to grab the largest value from the highest iteration (i). Thank you for looking over.
function [a] = largestfactor(number)
i = 2;
while(number > 1)
if mod(number,i) == 0
number = (number / i);
else
i = i + 1;
end
end
a = number * 5;
