Answer:

I started by dividing 2940 by the smallest prime that would fit into it, being 2. This left me with another even number, 1470, so I divided by 2 again. The result, 735, is divisible by 5, but 3 divides in also, and it's smaller, so I divided by 3 to get 245. This is not divisible by 3 but is divisible by 5, so I divided by 5 and got 49, which is divisible by 7.
