FactorList
FactorList
[
poly
]
gives a list of the factors of a polynomial, together with their exponents.
MORE INFORMATION
The first element of the list is always the overall numerical factor. It is
{1, 1}
if there is no overall numerical factor.
FactorList
[
poly
,
Modulus
->
p
]
factors modulo a prime
p
.
FactorList
[
poly
,
GaussianIntegers
->
True
]
allows Gaussian integer coefficients.
FactorList
[
poly
,
Extension
->{
a
1
,
a
2
,
...
}]
allows coefficients that are arbitrary rational combinations of the
a
i
.
