# `math.integer` — integer-specific mathematics functions

Adicionado na versão 3.15.

This module provides access to the mathematical functions defined for integer arguments. These functions accept integers and objects that implement the `__index__()` method which is used to convert the object to an integer number.

The following functions are provided by this module. All return values are computed exactly and are integers.

math.integer.comb(n, k, /)

  Return the number of ways to choose k items from n items without repetition and without order.

  Evaluates to `n! / (k! * (n - k)!)` when `k <= n` and evaluates to zero when `k > n`.

  Also called the binomial coefficient because it is equivalent to the coefficient of k-th term in polynomial expansion of `(1 + x)ⁿ`.

  Raises `ValueError` if either of the arguments are negative.

math.integer.factorial(n, /)

  Return factorial of the nonnegative integer n.

math.integer.gcd(*integers)

  Return the greatest common divisor of the specified integer arguments. If any of the arguments is nonzero, then the returned value is the largest positive integer that is a divisor of all arguments. If all arguments are zero, then the returned value is `0`. `gcd()` without arguments returns `0`.

math.integer.isqrt(n, /)

  Return the integer square root of the nonnegative integer n. This is the floor of the exact square root of n, or equivalently the greatest integer a such that a² ≤ n.

  For some applications, it may be more convenient to have the least integer a such that n ≤ a², or in other words the ceiling of the exact square root of n. For positive n, this can be computed using `a = 1 + isqrt(n - 1)`.

math.integer.lcm(*integers)

  Return the least common multiple of the specified integer arguments. If all arguments are nonzero, then the returned value is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of all arguments. If any of the arguments is zero, then the returned value is `0`. `lcm()` without arguments returns `1`.

math.integer.perm(n, k=None, /)

  Return the number of ways to choose k items from n items without repetition and with order.

  Evaluates to `n! / (n - k)!` when `k <= n` and evaluates to zero when `k > n`.

  If k is not specified or is `None`, then k defaults to n and the function returns `n!`.

  Raises `ValueError` if either of the arguments are negative.
