Abstract

This package for GAP 4 provides a general-purpose integer factorization routine, which makes use of a combination of factoring methods. In particular it contains implementations of the following algorithms:

It also contains code by Frank Lübeck for making use of Richard P. Brent's tables of factors of integers of the form \(b^k \pm 1\). FactInt is completely written in the GAP language and contains / requires no external binaries. It needs GAPDoc 1.6 [LN17] or higher. FactInt must be installed in the pkg subdirectory of the GAP distribution.
