Polynomial GF(2) Factoring Tool

Binary values expressed as polynomials in GF(2) can readily be manipulated using the rules of GF(2) arithmetic.

This online tool completely factors any GF(2) polynomial up to x32 (33 bits long). Binary and decimal equivalents are shown for reference. Note that irreducible polynomials expressed in decimal form do not necessarily correspond to prime positive integers.
