    Graduate Prime factorization for large numbers

    I did the damn thing, I just entered the non-zero part in Wolfram and factorize the rest of them myself. --- @Bill Simpson & @phyzguy: Of course, if you enter : http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=factor%28987654320987654321*2^180*5^180 It will give you the answer, but The numbers...

    Graduate Prime factorization for large numbers

    Oops. Sorry! I did miss a REALLY important thing(!): they are really so simple/silly! They are full of zeros, for example one of them is 909091 with 150 zeros after it, so the only problem would be factorizing 909091 and that's not a big deal. so the answer of the given number will be...

    Graduate Prime factorization for large numbers

    I need to factorize large numbers (some of them have about 200 decimal digits). Wolfram alpha is a dead end and programming with python is not working for me too. Any suggestions?
