That works fine for me (using factor from sh-utils-2.0.12):

  $ time factor 10000000000000000001
  10000000000000000001: 11 909090909090909091

  real    0m27.405s
  user    0m27.370s
  sys     0m0.020s

Maybe it's just taking a long time on your system?
Factoring those other two numbers takes much less time
because in each case their largest prime factor is smaller
than the one above.
