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

Parameters¶

n: int¶

An integer.

B: int¶

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

Returns¶

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

Notes¶

An integer \(n\) with prime factorization \(n = p_1^{e_1} \dots p_k^{e_k}\) is \(B\)-smooth if \(p_k \le B\). The 2-smooth numbers are the powers of 2. The 5-smooth numbers are known as regular numbers. The 7-smooth numbers are known as humble numbers or highly composite numbers.
