FACTOR(R)            Debian GNU/Linux manual            FACTOR(R)



NAME
       factor - prints prime factors

SYNOPSIS
       factor [NUMBER]
       factor [options]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the GNU factor command.
       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux dis-
       tribution  (but may be used by others), because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it  has
       documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

       factor  prints prime factors of a number.  If no NUMBER is
       specified on the command line, factor reads  numbers  from
       standard input, delimited by newlines, tabs, or spaces.

OPTIONS
       The  programs  follow  the  usual GNU command line syntax,
       with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A  sum-
       mary  of  options  are  included  below.   For  a complete
       description, see the Info files.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --version
              Show version of program.

SEE ALSO
       This program is documented fully by Shell utilities:  (sh-
       utils),  GNU  shell utilities, available via the Info sys-
       tem.
