Prime Factorization Calculator Π18 V9.01 Apk

INTRODUCTION

A Prime Number is a natural (a.k.a. counting) number that has exactly two distinct divisors called trivial factors, namely: number 1 and itself. Any other factors are considered non-trivial. Any natural number other than Prime is a composite number. Composite numbers are made of their non-trivial factors - they equal to the product of said factors. Number 1 is neither prime nor composite.

OVERVIEW

Prime Factorization is a mathematical task of finding not-trivial factors of any given natural number; if they don't exist then the number under the test is a Prime number.

For example, number 6 has two non-trivial factors 2 and 3, therefore 6 = 2 * 3; number 15 also has two non-trivial factors 3 and 5 (15 = 3 * 5); number 100 has 4 non-trivial factors, namely: 2, 2, 5, 5, thus 100 = 2 * 2 * 5 * 5. On the other side, the Prime numbers 2, 3 and 5 do not have any non-trivial factors: they are evenly divisible (i.e. divisible without remainder) only by the number 1 and the number itself.

Note: in this notation the asterisk "*" means arithmetic multiplication, same as "x" symbol (they can be used interchangeably, thus it could be written: 6 = 2 x 3).

Summary: Prime Numbers do not have any non-trivial factors, like 3, 5, 7 11. Any number with two or more non-trivial factors is called a Composite number, like said number 6, or number 9 (9 = 3 * 3), or 10 (10 = 2 * 5), etc.

USAGE

To find the prime factors, enter the number in the text box using on-screen keypad and click on enter button "=". Result will appear on digital displaying, showing either the list of found prime factors, or the message indicating that input number is Prime.

Calculator is capable of processing large numbers up to 18 digits. Please be aware that calculation of such big numbers may take several seconds, depends on the type of CPU (processor) used in Android cellphone or tablet.

PLATFORMS

This app can run in any Cellphone or Tablet equipped with Android 5 or higher (i.e. Android Lollipop / Marshmallow / Nougat / Oreo / Pie).

ALGORITHM

Looking "under the hood", the Calculator implements sophisticated parallel "Wheel Factorization" algorithm optimized for octal-core processor found in most Android cellphones Prime factorization of a large 18-digits Primes requires heavy "number crunching", so the computation time could be in range of seconds, depends on smartphone/tablet hardware.

Speed Test

This app implements speed benchmark - see sample screenshots taken on two different smartphones: Sony Xperia XA2 (Android Oreo 8.0) and Motorola Moto G5 Plus (Android Nougat 7.0)
