Calculate the Factors of a number

This is a C sharp implementation of the method used to calculate the factors of the number, as described at Wikihow.com. It can come in quite handy when working with Project Euler.

/// <summary>
/// Calculate the Factors of a number
/// </summary>
/// <param name="n">Number to examine</param>
/// <returns>List of factors</returns>
static List<int> FactorNumber(int n)
{
    List<int> div = new List<int>();

    int p=2;

    do
    {
	if (n == 1)
	    break;

	while (n % p !=0)
	    p++;

	do
	{
	    n /= p;
	    div.Add(p);
	} while (n % p == 0);

    } while (true);

    return div;
}

Usage is simple enough:

List<int> factor = FactorNumber(6552); //returns 2,2,2,3,3,7,13
factor = FactorNumber(17); //returns 17
factor = FactorNumber(25); //returns 5,5
factor = FactorNumber(60); //returns 2,2,3,5
factor = FactorNumber(100); //returns 2,2,5,5
factor = FactorNumber(45360); //returns 2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,5,7
