I'm trying to use a factor utility but it tells me that number is too large. Is there any utility that can do what factor doing but not tells that number is too large?
Factor is too large
utilities
Maybe your factor is not built with GMP, so it can not handle number bigger than 2**64-1:$ factor 18446744073709551616factor: `18446744073709551616' is too large$ factor 1844674407370955161518446744073709551615: 3 5 17 257 641 65537 6700417Running this command to check if factor built with GMP:$ ldd /usr/bin/factor         linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffda1fe000)        libgmp.so.10 => /usr/lib64/libgmp.so.10 (0x00007faae00f5000)        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007faadfd46000)        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007faae037c000)The limit may be higher on some machines (the number has to fit in uintmax_t type), but your number is a 256-bit number, and no common machine supports such a big uintmax_t, if any.Note that the factor utility can be compiled with GMP support. In that case, there is effectively no limit on the size of the number. It appears that your distribution hasn't activated GMP support (which makes sense since it would add a dependency on an extra library to a core system package for a rarely used feature).If you have perl, you can try factor.pl program include in Math::Prime::Util module:$ /home/cuonglm/.cpan/build/Math-Prime-Util-0.31-9c_xq3/bin/factor.pl 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337: 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337
