Question
(Perkovic, Problem 5.42) Write a function primeFac that computes the prime factorization of a
number:
⚫ it accepts a single argument, an integer greater than 1
⚫ it returns a list containing the prime factorization
• each number in the list is a prime number greater than 1
。 the product of the numbers in the list is the original number
。 the factors are listed in non-decreasing order
Sample usage:
1
>>> primeFac (5)
2
[5]
3
>>> primeFac(72)
4
[2, 2, 2, 3, 3]
5
>>> primeFac (72)==[2, 2, 2, 3, 3]
6
True
7
>>> [(i,primeFac(i)) for i in range(10, 300,23)]
8 [(10, [2, 5]), (33, [3, 11]), (56, [2, 2, 2, 7]), (79, [79]), (102, [2, 3,
