Option variable
intfaclim
Default value: true
If true
, maxima will give up factorization of
integers if no factor is found after trial divisions and Pollard's rho
method and factorization will not be complete.
When intfaclim
is false
(this is the case when the user
calls factor
explicitly), complete factorization will be
attempted. intfaclim
is set to false
when factors are
computed in divisors
, divsum
and totient
.
Internal calls to factor
respect the user-specified value of
intfaclim
. Setting intfaclim
to true
may reduce
the time spent factoring large integers.
