factor



Works for me,

It found the factor
(x + 56). The rest is the associated degree 50 factor. I cut and
pasted it in but the text got pasted in strangely, so I didn't think it worth
including in this post.


-sen

(%i1) build_info();

Maxima version: 5.11.0
Maxima build date: 4:28 1/25/2007
host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu
lisp-implementation-type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)

(%o1)
(%i2) modulus: 127;
(%o2)                                 127
(%i3) factor(x^51+x^22+1);

(%o3) (x + 56) (degree 50 polynomial . . . )
