Factoring Polynomials with SymPy

Here is an example that uses SymPy to factor polynomials.



In [1]:

    
from ipywidgets import interact



In [2]:

    
from sympy import Symbol, Eq, factor



In [3]:

    
x = Symbol('x')



In [4]:

    
def factorit(n):
    return Eq(x**n-1, factor(x**n-1))



In [5]:

    
factorit(12)









    Out[5]:





Eq(x**12 - 1, (x - 1)*(x + 1)*(x**2 + 1)*(x**2 - x + 1)*(x**2 + x + 1)*(x**4 - x**2 + 1))



In [6]:

    
interact(factorit, n=(2,40));
