PRIFPY: A Python module for computing the prime factorization of numbers.

It has dependencies on sympy and numpy libraries. Please install them using pip before using prifpy.

Usage:

Add PRIFPY to your application with import prifpy.

prifpy offers the following functions based on prime factorization methods:

1. prifpy.primefac: Prime factorizes the number sent as an argument and returns a Python dictionary with prime factors as keys and respective powers as values. This dictionary has the number that is factorized also stored in it as the value under a special key -1.

2. prifpy.printprifac: Print the above created dictionary of prime factors to STDOUT by passing the dict to it.

3. prifpy.lcm: Computes the LCM of an array of number passed as an argument and returns the prime factorized dict object of the LCM. The LCM value can be accessed by the special key -1.

4. prifpy.hcf: Computes the HCF of an array of number passed as an argument and returns the prime factorized dict object of the HCF. The HCF value can be accessed by the special key -1.

prifpy-cmd is a command line wrapper script for the module. Please run it to see its options.
