Who know how write procedure which will be do brutal force stop

I believe that large integer is x = (10^245+71)/9.

If you let FactorInteger[x, 2] run long enough, you find out that x is
divisble by 24164822890633570718420181256194871.

This gives the basic idea for how to do what was wanted. Wrap repeated
calls of FactorInteger[..., 2] inside a
TimeConstrained[loop,time,failexpr], keeping track of all factors found,
which are PrimeQ, (so as to further attempt to factor those that are
not). Put the ones found in failexpr. When time finally elapses, they
get returned. if you fully factor the number before time expires, return
factors the usual way.
