The algorithm is here https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/2e4e90b1b0243c85949eb1633f0546466b00829f/sympy/core/numbers.py#L1758-L1862. The workhorse is factorint (Integer.factor()), whose algorithm is at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/2e4e90b1b0243c85949eb1633f0546466b00829f/sympy/ntheory/facto
