NAME
Math::Factor::XS - Factorise numbers and calculate matching multiplications
SYNOPSIS
use Math::Factor::XS ':all';
# or
use Math::Factor::XS qw(factors matches);
$number = 30107;
@factors = factors($number);
@matches = matches($number, @factors);
print "$factors[1]\n";
print "$number == $matches[0][0] * $matches[0][1]\n";DESCRIPTION
Math::Factor::XS factorises numbers by applying modulo operator divisons.
FUNCTIONS
factors
Factorises numbers.
@factors = factors($number);The number will be entirely factorised and its factors will be returned as list.
matches
Evaluates matching multiplications.
@matches = matches($number, @factors);The factors will be multplicated against each other and results that equal the number itself, will be returned as two-multidimensional list. The matches are accessible through the indexes, for example, the first two numbers that matched the number, may be accessed by $matches[0][0] and $matches[0][1], the second ones by $matches[1][0] and $matches[1][1], and so on.
If $Math::Factor::XS::Skip_multiple is set to a true value, matching multiplications that contain multiplicated (small) factors will be discarded.
Example:
# accepted
30107 == 11 * 2737
# discarded
30107 == 77 * 391EXPORT
Functions
factors(), matches() are exportable.
