In [SIAM J. Comput. 17, No. 2, 179--193 (1988; Zbl 0642.10003)], \textit{E. Bach} presented an efficient algorithm for the generation of uniformly random numbers along with its prime factorization. In this short note, the author presents a significantly simpler algorithm and analysis for this problem.
