factor
Returns the prime factorization of X. If two outputs are requested, returns the unique primes of X.
Syntax
factor(X)
Inputs
- X
- Integer to be factored.
Outputs
- R, n
- Prime factors of X.
Examples
Simple factor example:
factor(14)R = [ 2 7 ]Multiple output factor example:
[a,b]=factor(12)
disp(a)
disp(b)a = [ 2 3 ]
b = [ 2 1 ]
