I think it is fairly obvious that 51 is one of the factors. 51 = 3 • 17
Divide 51,051 by 51, and look for factors of the other number.

Hello, dsunflower!
As fasteddie pointed out, it is clearly divisible by 51.
\(\displaystyle \text{So you have: }\:51,\!051 \;=\;51\times 1001\)
\(\displaystyle \text{If you see that: }\:51 \,=\,3\times 17,\:\text{and }happen\text{ to know that: }1001 \,=\,7\times11\times13\)
. . \(\displaystyle \text{then you have: }\;51,\!051 \;=\;3\times7\times11\times13\times17\)
