Hi,
I want to point your attention to an error in the info
documentation of 'factor'. There ist says:
"Factoring large prime numbers is, in general, hard. " That is ,
of course, nonsense, even though Bill Gates once made the same
error. Factoring large prime numbers is very easy, because they
have just the trivial factors 1 and the number itself.
The sentence should probably read: "Factoring large numbers is, in
general, hard. "
That is only too true.
Keep up the good work,
Yours,
Andreas Eder
