Hello everyone: So, say I've got something like this reset() z1 = (e^(2*pi*i/15))^6 z2 = (e^(2*pi*i/15))^3 z3 = (e^(2*pi*i/15))^9 z4 = (e^(2*pi*i/15))^12 num = lambda k: -z1^k*(z2-1)^(k+1)*(z3-1)^(k+1)*(z4-1)^(k+1) + -z2^k*(z1-1 )^(k+1)*(z4-1)^(k+1)*(z3-1)^(k+1) + -z3^k*(z4-1)^(k+1)*(z2-1)^(k+1)*(z1-1)^( k+1) + -z4^k*(z3-1)^(k+1)*(z1-1)^(k+1)*(z2-1)^(k+1)
So, I create a function "num" that takes a value k. I want to make an array with the values of the function for various values of k, so i do this nums = [num(k).simplify_full() for k in [1,11,21,31,41,51,61,71]] So, nums should be an array with values of num(k) at k = 1,11,21,31,41,... The problem happened when i wanted to see the prime factorization of some of these numbers. So, say I wanted the prime factorization of nums[1]. I do this: nums[1] factor(nums[1]) 50 50 Why won't it factor it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
