<p>In <a href="page.php?w=theoretical_computer_science">theoretical computer science</a>, a <b> problem</b> is one that asks for a solution in terms of an <a href="page.php?w=algorithm">algorithm</a>. For example, the problem of <b>factoring</b></p>

<p>
:"Given a positive integer n, find a nontrivial prime factor of n." </p>

<p>is a computational problem that has a solution, as there are many known <a href="page.php?w=integer_factorization">integer factorization</a> algorithms. A computational problem can be viewed as a <a href="page.php?w=Set_%28mathematics%29">set</a></p><p>
