Another site that may be of interest is Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures.

Also, when you say "500 divisors" do you mean 500 distinct divisors (2⁵⁰⁰ has one divisor, repeated 500 times)?

Information about American English usage here and here.

Any New York City or Connecticut area jobs? I'm currently unemployed.

No, 2⁵⁰⁰ has 501 divisors. It's divisible by 1, 2, 4, ..., 2⁴⁹⁹, 2⁵⁰⁰.	[reply]

OK; 2 distinct divisors, one of which is repeated 500 times... emc Information about American English usage here and here. Any New York City or Connecticut area jobs? I'm currently unemployed.	[reply]

"Divisor" ne "prime factor". There is no notion of a repeated divisor. blokhead	[reply]
