SYNOPSIS factor______
.sp
.ti 0
DESCRIPTION When factor is invoked, it types
out "Enter:" at you. If you type in a positive
number less than 2^56 (about 7.2E16), it will repeat the number
back at you and then its prime factors each one printed
the proper number of times. Then it says "Enter:" again.
To exit, feed it an EOT or a delete.
.sp
Maximum time to factor is proportional to sqrt(n) and occurs
when n is prime. It takes 1 minute to factor a prime near 10^13.
