galois.is_powersmooth

galois.is_powersmooth(n: int, B: int) bool

Determines if the integer \(n\) is \(B\)-powersmooth.

Parameters
n

An integer.

B

The smoothness bound \(B \ge 2\).

Returns

True if \(n\) is \(B\)-powersmooth.

factors, is_smooth

Notes

An integer \(n\) with prime factorization \(n = p_1^{e_1} \dots p_k^{e_k}\) is \(B\)-powersmooth if \(p_i^{e_i} \le B\) for \(1 \le i \le k\).

Examples

Comparison of \(B\)-smooth and \(B\)-powersmooth. Necessarily, any \(n\) that is \(B\)-powersmooth must be \(B\)-smooth.
