[Linux] Bash factor uso equivalente: Factorizar números

Overview

The factor command in Bash is used to factor integers into their prime factors. It takes one or more integers as input and outputs the prime factorization of each number.

Usage

The basic syntax of the factor command is as follows:

factor [options] [arguments]

Common Options

--help: Displays help information about the command.
--version: Shows the version of the factor command.
-n: Suppresses the output of the number being factored, showing only the factors.

Common Examples

Factor a single number: To factor the number 12, you can use:
```
factor 12
```
Output:
```
12: 2 2 3
```
Factor multiple numbers: You can factor several numbers at once:
```
factor 15 28 30
```
Output:
```
15: 3 5
28: 2 2 7
30: 2 3 5
```
Using the -n option: To suppress the output of the numbers being factored:
```
factor -n 18
```
Output:
```
2 3 3
```
Getting help information: To see the help information for the factor command:
```
factor --help
```

Tips

Use factor in scripts to automate the process of finding prime factors for a list of numbers.
Combine factor with other commands like xargs to handle input from files or other command outputs.
Remember that factor only works with positive integers; using negative numbers or non-integer values will result in an error.
