Smooth number
In
number theory
, a
smooth (or friable) number
is an
integer
which
factors
completely into small
prime numbers
. The term seems to have been coined by
Leonard Adleman
. Smooth numbers are especially important in
cryptography
relying on factorization. The 2-smooth numbers are just the
powers of 2
.
