Compute the prime factorization of an integer and return it in an inactivated form
ResourceFunction["InactiveFactorInteger"][n] returns the prime factorization of n in an inactivated form. |
Factor an integer:
In[1]:= |
Out[1]= |
The head of this result is Inactive[Times]:
In[2]:= |
Out[2]= |
Applying Activate returns the original integer:
In[3]:= |
Out[3]= |
By holding its input unevaluated, InactiveFactorInteger can factorize certain explicit powers efficiently:
In[4]:= |
Out[4]= |
Evaluating and then factoring the power, is significantly slower:
In[5]:= |
Out[5]= |
