Comments

A palindrome is a sequence that is the same whether it is read forward or in reverse. A palindromic factorization of n is a finite multiset of positive integers > 1 with product n that can be permuted into a palindrome.

Examples

			The palindromic factorizations for n = 2, 4, 16, 36, 64, 144:
  (2)  (4)    (16)       (36)       (64)           (144)
       (2*2)  (4*4)      (6*6)      (8*8)          (12*12)
              (2*2*4)    (2*2*9)    (4*4*4)        (4*4*9)
              (2*2*2*2)  (3*3*4)    (2*2*16)       (4*6*6)
                         (2*2*3*3)  (2*2*4*4)      (2*2*36)
                                    (2*2*2*2*4)    (3*3*16)
                                    (2*2*2*2*2*2)  (2*2*6*6)
                                                   (3*3*4*4)
                                                   (2*2*2*2*9)
                                                   (2*2*3*3*4)
                                                   (2*2*2*2*3*3)
