About Prime Factorizer

Every integer greater than 1 has a unique factorisation into primes — the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. This factoriser uses trial division with wheel factorisation for small inputs and Pollard's rho for larger ones, giving instant results up to 10^15.

Why Prime Factorisation Matters

Cryptography — RSA's security rests on the difficulty of factoring large composites. Real RSA keys use 2048-bit (~617-digit) numbers, which take billions of CPU-years to factor. Number theory homework — every problem involving GCD, LCM, or modular arithmetic starts with factoring. Simplifying fractions — divide by GCD found from common prime factors." }} />

Trial Division vs Pollard Rho

Trial division tests every prime up to √n. For n < 10^10 it is fast enough. Pollard's rho uses cycle detection to find non-trivial factors of large composites in O(n^¼) time. For the truly enormous numbers used in cryptography, more sophisticated algorithms (quadratic sieve, general number field sieve) are needed — and even those struggle past 200 digits." }} />
