This method name does not really seem clear to me. The function removes all instances of the factor (f
) arg from the other arg (a
), storing the result in this
and returning the number of times the factor was removed. I think "remove" conflicts pretty regularly with other remove methods. Maybe bigint.removeFac()
would be better? I'm open to other suggestions as well
