Loop is taking a lot of time

Hello,
I am trying to create a code that gives me the prime factors of a number but it is requiring a lot of time. Here is my code:
N = 12345678;
t=1;
for j = 2 : N
s = 0;
while N/j == floor(N/j)
N = N/j;
s = s + 1;
end
if s > 0
for k=1:s
primefactors(t)=j;
t=t+1;
end
end
end
disp(primefactors)
Now, I understand that loops can take time if the number is large, although I've noticed that when you take off the ; after "primefactors(t)=j;", the output displays all of the prime numbers and just stops. I've also tried to add this code to various places to try and force the program to stop once it has found all of the prime numbers:
if prod(primefactors)==N
break
end
Unfortunately, the outcome is the same. Is there a reason why this isn't working, or is there another work around aside from rewriting the code?
Thanks in advance!
edit: I am also using octave if that makes any difference.

Matlab 2013 in a i3 machine takes time =
0.3825
seconds to perform your code. I guess your problem lies on your machine.
