Prime Factorization
The program factorizes natural numbers into their prime powers.
The prime factorization or canonical representation of a number is unique except for the order of the factors.
Examples:

Complement
Instead of a single number, an interval or a sequence of numbers can also be broken down into prime factors. The input is identical to the program item Sequences and Series.
Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) in the Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (1801):
It is so well known that the problem of distinguishing between the prime numbers and the composite numbers and of breaking them down into their prime factors is one of the most important and useful in all of arithmetic, and has preoccupied the diligence and wisdom of the ancient and modern geometers that there is no need to say a lot about it.
