At the time, it was one of the first complete factor tables extending beyond 100,000 and became a standard reference number theory tables. Before modern computing made prime factorisation instantaneous via online tools, these massive tables were the primary way for mathematicians to find prime factors without manual factor tree calculations. The English translation is extremely rare, with no records of it appearing at auction. Very good, some some light shelf wear.…
