Factorization in $ \mathbb {Z}$/p$ \mathbb {Z}$[x] : Factor

Factor is the inert form of factor.
Factor takes as argument a polynomial.
Factor returns factor without evaluation. It is used in conjonction with mod in Maple syntax mode to factorize a polynomial with coefficients in $ \mathbb {Z}$/p$ \mathbb {Z}$ where p must be prime.
Input in Xcas mode :
Factor((-3*x^3+5*x^2-5*x+4)%13)
Output :
factor((-3*x^3+5*x^2-5*x+4)%13)
you need to eval(ans()) to get :
((1%13)*x+-6%13)*((-3%13)*x^2+-5%13)
Input in Maple mode :
Factor(-3*x^3+5*x^2-5*x+4) mod 13
Output :
-3*(1*x-6)*(1*x^2+6)
