A [i]slip[/i] on an integer $n\geq 2$ is an operation that consists in choosing a prime divisor $p$ of $n$ and replacing $n$ by $\frac{n+p^2}{p}.$
Starting with an arbitrary integer $n\geq 5$, we successively apply the slip operation on it. Show that one eventually reaches $5$, no matter the slips applied.
