  2. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    However, even for solving quadratic equations, the factoring method was not used before Harriot's work published in 1631, ten years after his death. [3] In his book Artis Analyticae Praxis ad Aequationes Algebraicas Resolvendas, Harriot drew tables for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of monomials, binomials, and trinomials.

  3. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    Continuing this process until every factor is prime is called prime factorization; the result is always unique up to the order of the factors by the prime factorization theorem. To factorize a small integer n using mental or pen-and-paper arithmetic, the simplest method is trial division : checking if the number is divisible by prime numbers 2 ...

  4. Euler's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_factorization_method

    Euler's factorization method is a technique for factoring a number by writing it as a sum of two squares in two different ways. For example the number 1000009 {\displaystyle 1000009} can be written as 1000 2 + 3 2 {\displaystyle 1000^{2}+3^{2}} or as 972 2 + 235 2 {\displaystyle 972^{2}+235^{2}} and Euler's method gives the factorization ...

  5. LU decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LU_decomposition

    LU factorization with partial pivoting (LUP) refers often to LU factorization with row permutations only: P A = L U , {\displaystyle PA=LU,} where L and U are again lower and upper triangular matrices, and P is a permutation matrix , which, when left-multiplied to A , reorders the rows of A .

  6. Fermat's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_factorization_method

    Fermat's factorization method, named after Pierre de Fermat, is based on the representation of an odd integer as the difference of two squares: N = a 2 − b 2 . {\displaystyle N=a^{2}-b^{2}.} That difference is algebraically factorable as ( a + b ) ( a − b ) {\displaystyle (a+b)(a-b)} ; if neither factor equals one, it is a proper ...

  7. Matrix decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_decomposition

    In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, a matrix decomposition or matrix factorization is a factorization of a matrix into a product of matrices. There are many different matrix decompositions; each finds use among a particular class of problems.

  8. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    These methods are not used for computer computations because they use integer factorization, which is currently slower than polynomial factorization. The two methods that follow start from a univariate polynomial with integer coefficients for finding factors that are also polynomials with integer coefficients.

  9. QR decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_decomposition

    More generally, we can factor a complex m×n matrix A, with m ≥ n, as the product of an m×m unitary matrix Q and an m×n upper triangular matrix R.As the bottom (m−n) rows of an m×n upper triangular matrix consist entirely of zeroes, it is often useful to partition R, or both R and Q:
