I'm surprised to see so little common sense in all the
discussions about > factor(6).  The reasons why 1, -1 or
negative numbers are not defined as  i couldn't agree more.  i
don't even seen why it matters what the definition of "prime" is
for this.  irrespective of what a prime number is, "1" is a
factor of "1" in all cases.  so "factor 1" is well defined and
should produce a reasonable result.  factor prints prime factors
normally because those are useful, but they are not the *only*
factors that exist.  please make factor print factors again,
even if there are no actual prime factors involved.   Home |
