If you type in a positive number less than 2^56 (about 7.2E16), it will repeat the number back at you and then its prime factors each one printed the proper number of times. Then it says "Enter:" again. To exit, feed it an EOT or a delete. .sp Maximum time to factor is proportional to sqrt(n) and occurs when n is prime. It takes 1 minute to factor a prime near 10^13. .sp .ti 0 FILES -- .sp .ti 0 SEE ALSO -- .sp .ti 0 DIAGNOSTICS "Ouch." for input out of range or for garbage input. .sp .ti 0 BUGS --
