NFACTORK All integer factorings of integer N which have K elements.
T = NFACTORK(N,K) returns an array which has K columns such that all(prod(T,2)==N) is true.

Examples:

T = nfactork(24,3) % produces
T =
1 1 24
1 2 12
1 3 8
1 4 6
2 2 6
2 3 4

such that: all(prod(T,2)==24) % True


T = nfactork(N,inf);
% Last row is factor(N)
% unique(T) lists all divisors of N


This was written in response to a NewsGroup question.
Like many combinatorial problems, this one can grow very quickly and soon overwhelm the system resources. Suggestions for improvements are always welcome.
