FactorSquareFree
FactorSquareFree[poly]
pulls out any multiple factors in a polynomial.
Details and Options
- FactorSquareFree[poly,Modulus->p] pulls out multiple factors modulo a prime p.
- FactorSquareFree[poly,Extension->Automatic] extends the coefficient field to include algebraic numbers that appear in the coefficients of poly.
- FactorSquareFree automatically threads over lists, as well as equations, inequalities and logic functions.
