- Factors[ <Polynomial> ]
- Returns list of lists {factor,exponent} such that product of all these factors raised to corresponding exponents equals the given polynomial.
- Example:
Factors[x^8 - 1]
yields {{x - 1, 1}, {x + 1, 1}, {x^2 + 1, 1}, {x^4 + 1, 1}}.
- Note: Not all of the factors are irreducible over the reals.
- Factors[ <Number> ]
- Returns list of lists {prime, exponent} such that product of all these primes raised to corresponding exponents equals the given number. Primes are sorted in ascending order.
- Example:
Factors[1024]
returns {{2,10}}, because 1024 = 210.Factors[42]
returns {{2, 1}, {3, 1}, {7, 1}}, because 42 = 21 31 71.
Note: See also PrimeFactors Command and Factor Command.

- Factors[ <Polynomial> ]
- Returns list of lists {factor, exponent} such that product of all these factors raised to corresponding exponents equals the given polynomial.
- Example:
Factors[x^8 - 1]
yields {{x - 1, 1}, {x + 1, 1}, {x^2 + 1, 1}, {x^4 + 1, 1}}, displayed as\begin{pmatrix} x-1&1\\ x+1&1\\ x^2+1&1\\ x^4+1&1 \end{pmatrix}.- Note: Not all of the factors are irreducible over the reals.
- Factors[ <Number> ]
- Returns list of lists {prime, exponent} such that product of all these primes raised to corresponding exponents equals the given number. Primes are sorted in ascending order.
- Example:
Factors[1024]
returns {{2,10}}, because 1024 = 210.Factors[42]
returns {{2, 1}, {3, 1}, {7, 1}}, because 42 = 21 31 71.
