That is, it turns out there's no - we've never found a fast way to do a prime factorization.

See the box to the right for its prime factorization and related data.

And because it's got nothing to do with prime factorization, it's like starting over.

This is equivalent to the multiplicity of 2 in the prime factorization.

The prime factorization of four is two times two.

Video explaining uniqueness of prime factorization using a lock analogy.

Every bit you add increases the difficulty or the length of time to find a prime factorization between 1.035 and 1.036.

This characterization makes it possible to determine whether a number is practical by examining its prime factorization.

As and showed, it is straightforward to determine whether a number is practical from its prime factorization.

The asymptotically best efficiency is obtained by computing n from its prime factorization.
