Abstract

Kronecker’s algorithm was one of the very first algorithms for the factorization of integer polynomials. Since such polynomials must factor into integer polynomials and evaluating them with integer values must produce integers, there is only a finite number of possible factors. If we use sets of divisors of these integers, the possible factors can be interpolated from them after finite number of steps (although this number may be enormous) or the given polynomial can be stated irreducible.
