Is there an algorithm to find ALL factorizations of an integer, preferably in Python/Java but any feedback is welcome.
I have an algorithm to calculate the prime factors. For instance [2,2,5]
are the prime factors of 20
.
def prime_factorization(n):
primfac = []
d = 2
while d*d <= n:
while (n % d) == 0:
primfac.append(d)
n /= d
d += 1
if n > 1:
primfac.append(n)
return primfac
I also have an algorithm to compute all factors (prime and non-prime) of an algorithm. For instance, the factors of 20
are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20]
.
def factors(n):
a, r = 1, [1]
while a * a < n:
a += 1
if n % a: continue
b, f = 1, []
while n % a == 0:
n //= a
b *= a
f += [i * b for i in r]
r += f
if n > 1: r += [i * n for i in r]
return sorted(r)
What I'm searching for is an algorithm to return all factorizations (not factors) of a given integer. For the integer 20
, the algorithm would produce the following:
[1,20]
[2,10]
[4,5]
[2,2,5]
Thanks!
Here's a pretty inefficient way to do it. It generates a lot of duplicates and then filters them out before returning them.
The idea is you pick from n=1
to len(factors)
inclusive factors to multiply, and then you recur into the unused factors.
import itertools
def mult(fs):
res = 1
for f in fs:
res *= f
return res
def _generate_all_factorizations(factors):
if len(factors) <= 1:
yield factors
return
for factors_in_mult in xrange(1, len(factors)+1):
for which_is in itertools.combinations(range(len(factors)), factors_in_mult):
this_mult = mult(factors[i] for i in which_is)
rest = [factors[i] for i in xrange(len(factors)) if i not in which_is]
for remaining in _generate_all_factorizations(rest):
yield [this_mult] + remaining
I added a function to remove duplicates and return them nicely sorted:
def generate_all_factorizations(factors):
seen = set()
res = []
for f in _generate_all_factorizations(factors):
f = tuple(sorted(f))
if f in seen:
continue
seen.add(f)
yield f
Now just feed it your prime factorization:
for factorization in generate_all_factorizations([2, 2, 5]):
print factorization
print "----"
for factorization in generate_all_factorizations([2, 3, 5, 7]):
print factorization
Result:
(2, 2, 5)
(2, 10)
(4, 5)
(20,)
