Prime decomposition
![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
The prime decomposition of a number is defined as a list of prime numbers which when all multiplied together, are equal to that number. Example: 12 = 2 * 2 * 3, so its prime decomposition is {2, 2, 3}
Write a function which returns an array or collection which contains the prime decomposition of a given number, n, greater than 1. If your language does not have an isPrime-like function available, you may assume that you have a function which determines whether a number is prime (note its name before your code).
If you would like to test code from this task, you may use code from trial division or the Sieve of Eratosthenes.
Note: The program must not be limited by the word size of your computer or some other artificial limit; it should work for any number regardless of size (ignoring the physical limits of RAM etc).

begin
Put (Decompose (12));
end Test_Prime;</lang> The solution is generic. The package is instantiated by a type that supports necessary operations +, /, mod, >=. The constants 0, 1, 2 are parameters too, because the type might have no literals. The package also provides a procedure to output an array of prime numbers and a function to convert a number to string (as a parameter). The function Decompose first estimates the maximal result length as log2 of the argument. Then it allocates the result and starts to enumerate divisors. It does not care to check if the divisors are prime, because non-prime divisors will be automatically excluded. In the example provided, the package is instantiated with plain integer type.

This is a version for arbitrary-precision integers which assumes the existence of a function with the signature: <lang java>public boolean prime(BigInteger i);</lang> You will need to import java.util.List, java.util.LinkedList, and java.math.BigInteger. <lang java>public static List<BigInteger> primeFactorBig(BigInteger a){
List<BigInteger> ans = new LinkedList<BigInteger>(); //loop until we test the number itself or the number is 1 for (BigInteger i = BigInteger.valueOf(2); i.compareTo(a) <= 0 && !a.equals(BigInteger.ONE); i = i.add(BigInteger.ONE)){ while (a.remainder(i).equals(BigInteger.ZERO) && prime(i)) { //if we have a prime factor ans.add(i); //put it in the list a = a.divide(i); //factor it out of the number } } return ans;

Scala
Getting the prime factors does not require identifying prime numbers. Since the problems seems to ask for it, here is one version that does it:
<lang scala>class PrimeFactors(n: BigInt) extends Iterator[BigInt] {
def zero = BigInt(0) def one = BigInt(1) def two = BigInt(2) def isPrime(n: BigInt) = n.isProbablePrime(10) var currentN = n var prime = two
def nextPrime = if (prime == two) { prime += one } else { prime += two while (!isPrime(prime)) { prime += two } }
def next = { if (!hasNext) throw new NoSuchElementException("next on empty iterator") while(currentN % prime != zero) { nextPrime } currentN /= prime prime }
def hasNext = currentN != one && currentN > zero
}</lang>
The method isProbablePrime(n) has a chance of 1 - 1/(2^n) of correctly identifying a prime. Here is a version that does not depend on identifying primes:
<lang scala>class PrimeFactors2(n: BigInt) extends Iterator[BigInt] {
def zero = BigInt(0) def one = BigInt(1) def two = BigInt(2) var currentN = n var divisor = two
def next = { if (!hasNext) throw new NoSuchElementException("next on empty iterator") while(currentN % divisor != zero) { if (divisor == two) divisor += one else divisor += two } currentN /= divisor divisor }
def hasNext = currentN != one && currentN > zero
}</lang>
Both versions are rather slow, as they accept arbitrarily big numbers, as requested. Test:
scala> BigInt(2) to BigInt(30) filter (_ isProbablePrime 10) map (p => (p, BigInt(2).pow(p.toInt) - 1)) foreach { | case (prime, n) => println("2**"+prime+"-1 = "+n+", with factors: "+new PrimeFactors(n).mkString(", ")) | } 2**2-1 = 3, with factors: 3 2**3-1 = 7, with factors: 7 2**5-1 = 31, with factors: 31 2**7-1 = 127, with factors: 127 2**11-1 = 2047, with factors: 23, 89 2**13-1 = 8191, with factors: 8191 2**17-1 = 131071, with factors: 131071 2**19-1 = 524287, with factors: 524287 2**23-1 = 8388607, with factors: 47, 178481 2**29-1 = 536870911, with factors: 233, 1103, 2089
