[R] Prime Factorization

[Spencer Graves]

  Hello:


       It's hard to RTFM if you don't know which FMTR.  I only found one 
with the "obvious search strategy" with my favorite search tools, which 
may nevertheless be unfamiliar to Cliff Clive.


RSiteSearch('prime factorization') # produced 3 matches, the first of 
which is the "primeFactors" function in the "surveillance" package.


install.packages('sos') # if you don't already have it
library(sos)
pf <- findFn('prime factorization') # only 3 matches
pf # open the result in a web browser with a link to the "primeFactors" 
function above.


DAVID:  You say there are "At least two." How can I find the other one?


       Thanks,
       Spencer
