compute_factor_base
Synopsis
#include <flint/qsieve.h>Extends the factor base to num_primes primes: the multiplier, 2, and the primes for which is a nonzero square modulo , with their inverses and the square roots of modulo . If a prime dividing is met, it is stored in small_factor and the extension stops. Returns the factor base.
