There are several functions for computing factorizations of ring elements. The factorizations produced have different properties.

The irreducible factorization of a polynomial with rational coefficients produces factors with integer coefficients (and integer content = 1) having positive leading coefficient. The remaining factor is the unique rational number (actually a polynomial of degree 0) which makes the factorization correct.
