  2. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    The polynomial x 2 + cx + d, where a + b = c and ab = d, can be factorized into (x + a)(x + b).. In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind.

  3. Greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor

    This means that the computation of greatest common divisor has, up to a constant factor, the same complexity as the multiplication. However, if a fast multiplication algorithm is used, one may modify the Euclidean algorithm for improving the complexity, but the computation of a greatest common divisor becomes slower than the multiplication.

    For example, 6 and 35 factor as 6 = 2 × 3 and 35 = 5 × 7, so they are not prime, but their prime factors are different, so 6 and 35 are coprime, with no common factors other than 1. A 24×60 rectangle is covered with ten 12×12 square tiles, where 12 is the GCD of 24 and 60.

  5. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    Modern algorithms and computers can quickly factor univariate polynomials of degree more than 1000 having coefficients with thousands of digits. [3] For this purpose, even for factoring over the rational numbers and number fields, a fundamental step is a factorization of a polynomial over a finite field.

  6. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

    Then, () can be further factored by factoring (). The fundamental theorem of algebra states that every polynomial of positive degree has at least one complex root. The above process shows the fundamental theorem of algebra implies that every polynomial p ( x ) = a n x n + a n −1 x n −1 + ⋯ + a 1 x + a 0 can be factored as

  7. Factorial - Wikipedia

    TI SR-50A, a 1975 calculator with a factorial key (third row, center right) The factorial function is a common feature in scientific calculators. [73] It is also included in scientific programming libraries such as the Python mathematical functions module [74] and the Boost C++ library. [75]

    The divisors of 10 illustrated with Cuisenaire rods: 1, 2, 5, and 10. In mathematics, a divisor of an integer , also called a factor of , is an integer that may be multiplied by some integer to produce . [1] In this case, one also says that is a multiple of .
