factor - smallest prime factor not exceeding specified limit
SYNOPSIS
factor(n [, limit [, err]])
TYPES
n integer
limit integer with abs(limit) < 2^32, defaults to 2^32 - 1
err integer
return positive integer or err
DESCRIPTION
This function ignores the signs of n and limit, so here we shall
assume n and limit are both nonnegative.
If n has a prime proper factor less than or equal to limit, then
factor(n, limit) returns the smallest such factor.
NOTE: A proper factor of n>1 is a factor < n. In other words,
for n>1 is not a proper factor of itself. The value 1
is a special case because 1 is a proper factor of 1.
When every prime proper factor of n is greater than limit, 1 is
returned. In particular, if limit < 2, factor(n, limit) always
returns 1. Also, factor(n,2) returns 2 if and only if n is even
and n > 2.
If 1 < n < nextprime(limit)^2, then f(n, limit) == 1 <==> n is prime.
For example, if 1 < n < 121, n is prime if and only if f(n,7) == 1.
If limit >= 2^32, factor(n, limit) causes an error and factor(n,
limit, err) returns the value of err.
