in reply to Re^2: Generating powerset with progressive ordering
in thread Generating powerset with progressive ordering

I object to calling the use of divisors a "violation" of the original question. Given the prime factorization, it is a simple matter to multiply out all the possible combinations, giving the list of divisors. Math::Pari's divisor function just saves the work of doing the multiplications and sorting the results.

    tall_man,
    Given the downvotes - you aren't the only one who feels this way. I still like your solution for brevity, efficiency, and elegance even if it isn't the fastest. I really do need to learn more about Math::Pari.
