Re: Algorithm for cancelling common factors between two lists of multiplicands

Will the arrays have equal numbers of values?

Will there be repeated values in teh individual arrays (1, 1, 10, 20, ...)?

Could the arrays fit in (virtual) memory or are they disk based and too big?

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.
