factor -- Print prime factors
Summary:
Print the prime factors of each number. The algorithm, it uses, is not
very sophisticated. So, for some inputs `factor' runs for a long time.
Example:
$ factor 25 -- Print prime factors
$ factor 125 200 -- Print prime factors for each number.
$ factor `echo '2^64-1'|bc` -- Factors the largest 64-bit number.
$ factor `echo '4294967279 * 4294967291'|bc` -- Factors the largest
32-bit prime numbers. (Warning: It take more time)
Read: man factor
