I want to have a simple interface to automatically draw tree diagrams of prime factorization. For example, by invoking the following code,
\PrimeTree{36}
\PrimeTree{90}
\PrimeTree{112}
\PrimeTree{612}
\PrimeTree{7875}
\PrimeTree{22230}
we will get the following output.
How to do this in LaTeX (PSTricks, TikZ, Asymptote, Metapost, etc)?
My uneducated effort is as follows.
\documentclass[border=3pt,preview,varwidth,multi]{standalone}

In order to appreciate your effort, I can only offer the following!
A basic forest
/count-based implementation.
Although forest
provides keys to evaluate stuff and has basic if
keys, I used a macro that evaluates everything. As it relies on counts, I don’t think it works with forest
’s keys as they use pgfmath
. (Which suffers from the typical problem that it uses TeX’s dimen registers which cannot be greater than 18-thousand-something; with the fp
package and TikZ’s fixedpointarithmetic
library this could be extended.)
The greatest representable number is 2 147 483 644 (2^31-4
), the next integer 2 147 483 645 (2^31-3
) fails.
The algorithm is not very efficient.
For the input number p, the factors 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, …, 2n + 1 until p/2 are checked whether they divide p without remainder.
The code includes some comments on the algorithm.
The \num
macro from the siunitx
package was used to typeset the numbers (even the exponents even though they cannot be greater than 30).

Release 1.2o deprecates some macros which were used here, so the answer was updated. On this occasion I replaced uses of \if...\else...\fi
with the xint
provided \xintiiifOne
etc... which safely select a branch à la firstoftwo/secondoftwo
way and avoid things like \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
at user level.
Note: the xint manual also contains code implementing expandably Rabin-Miller strong pseudo-primality tests...
This answer has evolved in stages. New contributions were added at the bottom (apart from the images which I put on top).
macro \factorize
to produce programmatically the factorization of input N
. The output is put in macro \factors
. For example for N=36
, \factors
expands to {{}{}{36}}{{2}{2}{9}}{{3}{2}{1}}
. Each successive triplet is {p}{k}{m}
where p^k
is the p
-factor of N
, and m
the result of dividing N
by it and all previous ones. The first triple {}{}{N}
is a bit of a nuisance, and this explains \expandafter\@gobble\factors
in some the displaying codes. Initially the displays used tabulars.
then I added code using pst-tree
to produce the trees from the result available in \factors
. I also added code for just printing the factorization inline.
I now add code using TikZ+forest
, which I have learned a bit since seeing it used beautifully in Qrrbrbirlbel's answer. The code for the forest
tree also incoporates the inline
version of the factorization.
I use pst-tree
and forest
only to display, not to compute the factorization. Both pst-tree
and forest
syntax for the trees allowed a simple approach to work from \factors
to the trees: two token lists are filled-up step by step; if using the native TikZ
syntax with child
, that would be much more difficult because of braces {
and }
.
Images of trees produced with forest
:
Images of trees using pst-tree
(as were done manually by
PSTikZ
[1].) Here are some samples (the code also has the variant to not display the 1
's when they are exponents). For some other ways to do trees, e.g with TikZ's childs and nodes, the \factors
macro prepared by the \factorize
command should probably be done in a slightly different manner.
I too propose half of an answer using package
xint
[2] for the arithmetic computations (on arbitrarily big numbers). The command \factorize{N}
results in macro \factors
containing a list of triplets {p}{k}{m}
, where p
is a prime number showing up in the factorization, k
is its exponent, m
is the result of division of N
by p^k
as well as all previous factors corresponding to smaller primes. So the last triplet has m=1
, and the first is {}{}{N}
.
The tree could then be constructed from this macro \factors
; here I just have a \displayfactorization
to display the result using tabulars (and I use some macros of
xint
[3] to transform \factors
into what goes into the tabular). There is an optional argument to set up the width of the second column.
I use the numprint [4] package to print very long numbers without going beyond the page physical limits.
The algorithm is very lame: first divisions by 2 are tested, then 3, then 5, and all successive odd integers until N
has been reduced to 1.
There is no impact on TeX memory, apart from \factors
being filled up.
The algorithm would be of course faster if done using only TeX \count
registers (and eTeX \numexpr
for convenience), but this would restrict it to numbers < 2^{31}
.
update: I have incorporated the usual halting test to not go beyond square root of n, makes the thing a bit more efficient when the factorization ends in a 'big' prime (two such examples added).

\long
: I just had a temporary brain collapse... will remove it! - user4686

differently. - user4686
fontenc

? - Svend Tveskæg
array
is loaded to use the >{...}
construct in the tabulars used in \displayfactorization
. I think I loaded [T1]{fontenc}
in the debugging phase as I was using \meaning\factors
to check the contents of this macro, and it contains braces {
, }
, also there is a >
in the output of \meaning
. The factorization itself needs only package xint
(and package xintexpr
was loaded only to be able to use its \xinttheexpr....\relax
construct, in order to test \factorize
on randomly chosen products). - user4686
array
and I can't see any difference in the output. Furthermore, I can remove xint
and can't remove xintexpr
. (I have only loaded \usepackage{xintexpr} \usepackage[np]{numprint} \usepackage[locale=DE]{siunitx}
(where the last is loaded because I use \num
to 'cluster' together the digits in the numbers) and everything compiles just fine.) - Svend Tveskæg
xintexpr
loads xint
automatically if not already loaded. Thanks for the info about array
not being necessary; I thought it was for using the >{}
specifier in the tabular preambles. Does the \num
macro of siunitx
allow to print very long numbers with breaks across lines? - user4686
\num
. Let's see what @JosephWright says. - Svend Tveskæg
numprint
loads array
. This is why it looks as if one does not need to load it explicitely. - user4686
pst-tree
output, is it possible not to print 1
if that is the exponent in a factor? - Svend Tveskæg
\factorize
whose \if
various tests created spurious spaces (as 99% of the time I do \ifnum
tests I am always used to leave a space after digits, but in this context, TeX was not looking for a number, hence the bug). - user4686
\xintDivision
by \xintiiDivision
in the code. However, I do not get the same looks for the graphs, the root of the tree on top is shifted right compare to the 2013 images. This is out of my control as it is result of some change in forest, tikz, or both (or standalone). I can not help here. Can you ask a question on this site, saying, "hey guys, why does the code there not compile to same images as in 2013" ? - user4686
\horizontalshift
used in node positioning. You can point the experts to that part of the code in \FactorTree
tree command. I can confirm that on a TeXLive 2013 checkout the code compiles as show in the answer. in the TeXLive 2016 current, there is a difference in node positioning which must come from tikz, forest, standalone or other thing unrelated to xint. - user4686
This is half the answer, it just factorizes numbers.
TeX is Turing-complete, no extra packages are required. :-)
I'm not really in the mood for pst-tree
, so I'll skip the second half.
Besides, @Qrrbrbirlbel's answer (which I upvoted) covers that handsomely.
If, for some reason, one prefers my code, it should be easy to patch the
generic factor processing macros that I have with whatever is needed to generate
the trees.
The algorithm I used is a quite simple one: it checks 2 and 3 and then checks all numbers that are 6k-1 or 6k+1, up to the square root of n. It is supposed to work with arbitrarily long numbers (up to 2^31, TeX's limit for counters), provided it does not exhaust TeX's memory when recursing. This happens, e.g., when you give it 2^31-1, which happens to be a Mersenne prime.

struct PrimeTree
that draws a tree is defined in the preamble and is used
in asy
pictures. It consists of a function fillPrimeList()
,
which fills the list of prime numbers,
a function factors()
, which collects prime factors of the number,
and a function draw()

Asy
uses 64-bit
signed integers, with intMax=9223372036854775805
, so in the current form longer input will not work. The example shown for n=19928968819
(~ about 1 min on a busy laptop). However, the code needs optimisation to work reasonably with bigger input. - g.kov
A slightly different approach is to combine the typesetting of LaTeX with the abilities of other programming languages. Compared to the other solutions the code executes almost instantaneously, is relatively readable to a layman and much shorter.
Here python was used based on the great pythontex
package and the forest
package to draw the trees. Several sophisticated packages for number theory are additionally available for python, so a much more advanced algorithm can also be used. The code is a little messy, as I squished the creation of the string for the forest package into the factorization algorithm.

I only discovered this topic today. So here is a very late attempt with MetaPost [1], probably very clumsy, but it seems to work nicely. I've not read the other contributions carefully yet, I may come back to catch some nice ideas and include them :-) Any remark is welcome.
Basically, the main program prime_tree
calls a recursive macro, prime_factorization
on the integer n
, which first deals with 2 as divisor and then with the others (odd) prime divisors by calling another macro, odd_ prime_factorization
.
Edit The code has been much simplified. In particular, no more odd_prime_factorization
macro: prime_factorization
now takes care of the main job alone. More improvements are probably to come.
Edit 2 The code has been thoroughly revised and completed in order to make any overlapping between the different nodes impossible. Also, it has been included in a LuaLaTeX program, which seems oddly enough a little quicker than standalone MetaPost.

Result:
The factorization of one of the examples provided by jfbu
above took much longer time than the rest: 19928968819. The result is however as expected, after more than a minute of computations on my old laptop (MacBook Pro from 2008).
The next step is (I hope) the introduction of the exponents…
Edit 3 Done at last: a version taking the exponents into account. It has needed some time, the necessary changes having been difficult for me to sort out, mostly the appropriate way to deal with the last factors.
Like the former one, it has been incorporated in a LuaLaTeX program since it seems to run (slightly) faster than standalone MetaPost.

This is an answer to a topic raised by the OP in a comment, not an answer to the initial question of trees (this is why I make a second answer).
PSTikZ [1] asked for macros computing the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of a set of integers.
The initial version of this answer provided such macros based on \xintGCD
and \xintLCM
from package
xintgcd
[2].
Since 1.09a (2013/09/24)
the package actually provides \xintGCDof
and \xintLCMof
and
xintexpr
[3] has functions gcd
and lcm
. Thus the answer here got (belatedly) updated to simply use them.
