PrimePowerFactors( g, G )
g
-
element of G whose factorization is to be computed
G
group containing the element g
For an element of finite order in a group , the prime power factors of are elements of such that , and such that each has order equal to a power of a prime number. The elements are pairwise commutative, and are uniquely determined up to the order in which they occur.
The PrimePowerFactors( g, G ) command computes the prime power factors of the group element .
The GroupTheory[PrimePowerFactors] command was introduced in Maple 2019.
