What logic does it use for when to use a +1? One thing I noticed: if I give it 100,000 it gives me 2^5•5^5. But if I give it 100,001, instead of 2^5•5^5+1, it gives (2•5 + 1)•(2•3^2•5•(2^2•5^2 + 1) + 1), which seems sub-optimal.
Further down the prime numbers rabbit hole: you can do computation from prime numbers decomposition and fractions:

I don't get it. Is there a particular reason why prime number bases are further broken down via "+1"? And where do you stop with that? For example, "5" is not further broken down into 2^2+1.

7 and 49 look the same.

Just to be clear, this is an art project with no practical use that I can think of. It's hard to count using these numbers, but factoring them is trivial.
