"""
An RSA prime factor algorithm.
The program can efficiently factor RSA prime number given the private key d and
public key e.

large number can take minutes to factor, therefore are not included in doctest.

This function returns the factors of N, where p*q=N
Return: [p, q]
We call N the RSA modulus, e the encryption exponent, and d the decryption exponent.
The pair (N, e) is the public key. As its name suggests, it is public and is used to
encrypt messages.
The pair (N, d) is the secret key or private key and is known only to the recipient
of encrypted messages.
