Fortran

Please find the example output along with the build instructions in the comments at the start of the FORTRAN 2008 source. Compiler: gfortran from the GNU compiler collection. Command interpreter: bash. The code writes j assertions which don't prove primality of the factors but does prove they are the factors.

This algorithm creates a sieve of Eratosthenes, storing the largest prime factor to mark composites. It then finds prime factors by repeatedly looking up the value in the sieve, then dividing by the factor found until the value is itself prime. Using the sieve table to store factors rather than as a plain bitmap was to me a novel idea.

Fōrmulæ

Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text. Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for storage and transfer purposes more than visualization and edition.

Programs in Fōrmulæ are created/edited online in its website.

In this page you can see and run the program(s) related to this task and their results. You can also change either the programs or the parameters they are called with, for experimentation, but remember that these programs were created with the main purpose of showing a clear solution of the task, and they generally lack any kind of validation.

Solution

The Factor expression reduces to a list of the primer factors of a given number.

We cannot create the multiplication directly, because it would be reduced immediately to its value. We can make use of the reflection capabilities:

 

 

 

 

 

Go

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("1: 1")
    for i := 2; ; i++ {
        fmt.Printf("%d: ", i)
        var x string
        for n, f := i, 2; n != 1; f++ {
            for m := n % f; m == 0; m = n % f {
                fmt.Print(x, f)
                x = "×"
                n /= f
            }
        }
        fmt.Println()
    }
}
Output:
1: 1
2: 2
3: 3
4: 2×2
5: 5
6: 2×3
7: 7
8: 2×2×2
9: 3×3
10: 2×5

Haskell

Using factorize function from the prime decomposition task,

import Data.List (intercalate)

showFactors n = show n ++ " = " ++ (intercalate " * " . map show . factorize) n
-- Pointfree form
showFactors = ((++) . show) <*> ((" = " ++) . intercalate " * " . map show . factorize)

isPrime n = n > 1 && noDivsBy primeNums n

The real solution seems to have to be some sort of a segmented offset sieve of Eratosthenes, storing factors in array's cells instead of just marks. That way the speed of production might not be diminishing as much.

jq

Works with: jq

Works with gojq, the Go implementation of jq

The following uses `factors/0`, a suitable implementation of which may be found at Prime_decomposition#jq.

gojq supports unlimited-precision integer arithmetic, but the C implementation of jq currently uses IEEE 754 64-bit numbers, so using the latter, the following program will only be reliable for integers up to and including 9,007,199,254,740,992 (2^53). However, "factors" could be easily modified to work with a "BigInt" library for jq, such as BigInt.jq.

# To take advantage of gojq's arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic:
def power($b): . as $in | reduce range(0;$b) as $i (1; . * $in);

# Input: a non-negative integer determining when to stop
def count_in_factors:
  "1: 1",
  (range(2;.) | "\(.): \([factors] | join("x"))");

def count_in_factors($m;$n):
  if  . == 1 then  "1: 1" else empty end,
  (range($m;$n) | "\(.): \([factors] | join("x"))");

Perl

Typically one would use a module for this. Note that these modules all return an empty list for '1'. This should be efficient to 50+ digits:

Library: ntheory
use ntheory qw/factor/;
print "$_ = ", join(" x ", factor($_)), "\n" for 1000000000000000000 .. 1000000000000000010;
Output:
1000000000000000000 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5
1000000000000000001 = 101 x 9901 x 999999000001
1000000000000000002 = 2 x 3 x 17 x 131 x 1427 x 52445056723
1000000000000000003 = 1000000000000000003
1000000000000000004 = 2 x 2 x 1801 x 246809 x 562425889
1000000000000000005 = 3 x 5 x 44087 x 691381 x 2187161
1000000000000000006 = 2 x 7 x 919 x 77724234416291
1000000000000000007 = 1370531 x 729644203597
1000000000000000008 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 97 x 26209 x 32779 x 166667
1000000000000000009 = 1000000000000000009
1000000000000000010 = 2 x 5 x 11 x 103 x 4013 x 21993833369

Giving similar output and also good for large inputs:

use Math::Pari qw/factorint/;
sub factor {
  my ($pn,$pc) = @{Math::Pari::factorint(shift)};
  return map { ($pn->[$_]) x $pc->[$_] } 0 .. $#$pn;
}
print "$_ = ", join(" x ", factor($_)), "\n" for 1000000000000000000 .. 1000000000000000010;

or, somewhat slower and limited to native 32-bit or 64-bit integers only:

use Math::Factor::XS qw/prime_factors/;
print "$_ = ", join(" x ", prime_factors($_)), "\n" for 1000000000000000000 .. 1000000000000000010;


If we want to implement it self-contained, we could use the prime decomposition routine from the Prime_decomposition task. This is reasonably fast and small, though much slower than the modules and certainly could have more optimization.

sub factors {
  my($n, $p, @out) = (shift, 3);
  return if $n < 1;
  while (!($n&1)) { $n >>= 1; push @out, 2; }
  while ($n > 1 && $p*$p <= $n) {
    while ( ($n % $p) == 0) {
      $n /= $p;
      push @out, $p;
    }
    $p += 2;
  }
  push @out, $n if $n > 1;
  @out;
}

print "$_ = ", join(" x ", factors($_)), "\n" for 100000000000 .. 100000000100;

We could use the second extensible sieve from Sieve_of_Eratosthenes#Extensible_sieves to only divide by primes.

tie my @primes, 'Tie::SieveOfEratosthenes';

sub factors {
  my($n, $i, $p, @out) = (shift, 0, 2);
  while ($n >= $p * $p) {
    while ($n % $p == 0) {
      push @out, $p;
      $n /= $p;
    }
    $p = $primes[++$i];
  }
  push @out, $n  if $n > 1 || !@out;
  @out;
}

print "$_ = ", join(" x ", factors($_)), "\n" for 100000000000 .. 100000000010;
Output:
100000000000 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5

This next example isn't quite as fast and uses much more memory, but it is self-contained and shows a different approach. As written it must start at 1, but a range can be handled by using a map to prefill the p_and_sq array.

#!perl -C
use utf8;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $limit = 1000;

print "$_ = $_\n" for 1..3;

my @p_and_sq = ( [2, 4], [3, 9] );

N: for my $n ( 4 .. 1000 ) {
	print $n, " = ";
	for( my $i = 0; $i <= $#p_and_sq; ++$i ) {
		my ($p, $sq) = @{ $p_and_sq[$i] };
		if( $sq > $n ) {
			print $n, "\n";
			push @p_and_sq, [ $n, $n*$n ];
			next N;
		}
		while( 0 == ($n % $p) ) {
			print $p;
			$n /= $p;
			if( $n == 1 ) {
				print "\n";
				next N;

Raku

(formerly Perl 6)

Works with: rakudo version 2015-10-01
constant @primes = 2, |(3, 5, 7 ... *).grep: *.is-prime;

multi factors(1) { 1 }
multi factors(Int $remainder is copy) {
  gather for @primes -> $factor {

    # if remainder < factor², we're done
    if $factor * $factor > $remainder {
      take $remainder if $remainder > 1;
      last;
    }

    # How many times can we divide by this prime?
    while $remainder %% $factor {
        take $factor;
        last if ($remainder div= $factor) === 1;
    }
  }
}

say "$_: ", factors($_).join(" × ") for 1..*;

The first twenty numbers:

1: 1
2: 2
3: 3
4: 2 × 2
5: 5
6: 2 × 3
7: 7
8: 2 × 2 × 2
9: 3 × 3
10: 2 × 5
11: 11
12: 2 × 2 × 3
13: 13
14: 2 × 7
15: 3 × 5
16: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
17: 17
18: 2 × 3 × 3
19: 19
20: 2 × 2 × 5

Here we use a multi declaration with a constant parameter to match the degenerate case. We use copy parameters when we wish to reuse the formal parameter as a mutable variable within the function. (Parameters default to readonly in Raku.) Note the use of gather/take as the final statement in the function, which is a common Raku idiom to set up a coroutine within a function to return a lazy list on demand.

Note also the '×' above is not ASCII 'x', but U+00D7 MULTIPLICATION SIGN. Raku does Unicode natively.

Here is a solution inspired from Almost_prime#C. It doesn't use &is-prime.

sub factor($n is copy) {
    $n == 1 ?? 1 !!
    gather {
	$n /= take 2 while $n %% 2;
	$n /= take 3 while $n %% 3;
	loop (my $p = 5; $p*$p <= $n; $p+=2) {
	    $n /= take $p while $n %% $p;
	}
	take $n unless $n == 1;
    }
}

say "$_ == ", join " \x00d7 ", factor $_ for 1 .. 20;

Same output as above.


Alternately, use a module:

use Prime::Factor;

say "$_ = {(.&prime-factors || 1).join: ' x ' }" for flat 1 .. 10, 10**20 .. 10**20 + 10;

REXX

Simple approach

As per the task's requirements, the prime factors of   1   (unity) will be listed as   1,
even though, strictly speaking, it should be   null.         The same applies to   0.

Programming note:   if the   high   argument is negative, its positive value is used and no displaying of the
prime factors are listed, but the number of primes found is always shown.   The showing of the count of
primes was included to help verify the factoring (of composites).

Using integer SQRT

This REXX version computes the   integer square root   of the integer being factor   (to limit the range of factors),
this makes this version about   50%   faster than the 1st REXX version.

Also, the number of early testing of prime factors was expanded.

Note that the   integer square root   section of code doesn't use any floating point numbers, just integers.

Ruby

Starting with Ruby 1.9, 'prime' is part of the standard library and provides Integer#prime_division.

require 'optparse'
require 'prime'

maximum = 10
OptionParser.new do |o|
  o.banner = "Usage: #{File.basename $0} [-m MAXIMUM]"
  o.on("-m MAXIMUM", Integer,
       "Count up to MAXIMUM [#{maximum}]") { |m| maximum = m }
  o.parse! rescue ($stderr.puts $!, o; exit 1)
  ($stderr.puts o; exit 1) unless ARGV.size == 0
end

# 1 has no prime factors
puts "1 is 1" unless maximum < 1

2.upto(maximum) do |i|
  # i is 504 => i.prime_division is [[2, 3], [3, 2], [7, 1]]
  f = i.prime_division.map! do |factor, exponent|
    # convert [2, 3] to "2 x 2 x 2"
    ([factor] * exponent).join " x "
  end.join " x "
  puts "#{i} is #{f}"
end
Example:
$ ruby prime-count.rb -h
Usage: prime-count.rb [-m MAXIMUM]
    -m MAXIMUM                       Count up to MAXIMUM [10]

Tcl

This factorization code is based on the same engine that is used in the parallel computation task.

package require Tcl 8.5

namespace eval prime {
    variable primes [list 2 3 5 7 11]
    proc restart {} {
	variable index -1
	variable primes
	variable current [lindex $primes end]
    }

    proc get_next_prime {} {
	variable primes
	variable index
	if {$index < [llength $primes]-1} {
	    return [lindex $primes [incr index]]
	}
	variable current
	while 1 {
	    incr current 2
	    set p 1
	    foreach prime $primes {
		if {$current % $prime} {} else {
		    set p 0
		    break
		}
	    }
	    if {$p} {
		return [lindex [lappend primes $current] [incr index]]
	    }
	}
    }

    proc factors {num} {
	restart
	set factors [dict create]
	for {set i [get_next_prime]} {$i <= $num} {} {
	    if {$num % $i == 0} {
		dict incr factors $i
		set num [expr {$num / $i}]
		continue
	    } elseif {$i*$i > $num} {
		dict incr factors $num
		break
	    } else {
		set i [get_next_prime]
	    }
	}
	return $factors
    }

    # Produce the factors in rendered form
    proc factors.rendered {num} {
	set factorDict [factors $num]
	if {[dict size $factorDict] == 0} {
	    return 1
	}
	dict for {factor times} $factorDict {
	    lappend v {*}[lrepeat $times $factor]

	return [join $v "*"]
