That works fine for me (using factor from sh-utils-2.0.12): $ time factor 10000000000000000001 10000000000000000001: 11 909090909090909091 real 0m27.405s user 0m27.370s sys 0m0.020s Maybe it's just taking a long time on your system? Factoring those other two numbers takes much less time because in each case their largest prime factor is smaller than the one above. _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
