[erlang-questions] learning Erlang: factoring primes

[Ludovic Coquelle]

Kind of ... I'm not sure about stack-overflow, but yes idea is that: in your
code, Erlang needs as many function-call contexts as factors in the number.

In this case I guess this is not a very big number of contexts. But this
kind of consideration have to be made when programming in Erlang.
