6.5.6 Matrix of factors: maple_ifactors
The maple_ifactors command decomposes an integer into prime
factors, and returns the result in Maple syntax.
-
maple_ifactors takes one argument:
n, an integer or a list of integers.
- maple_ifactors(n) decomposes the integer n
(or the integers of the list) into prime factors, given as a list
following the Maple syntax; namely,
a list starting with +1 or -1 (for the sign), then a matrix
with 2 columns whose rows are the prime factors and their
multiplicity (or a list of such lists).
