Entering a parameter larger than 2^64 to the program "factor" causes an error message which tells me the input is not a valid positive integer, and then refers me to the --help message.
Somewhere, the program wants to have a reasonable limit, so the help message probably wants to say the factor package is limited to integers <= 2^64, rather than the grandiose statement that an overly large input is not a valid positive integer.
