COMMENTS
The provided "HyperbolaTiles" algorithm computes a factorization of n and computes a(n), the number of required iterations to reach this factorization.
If n = 1, the factorization is considered reached with (n=1*1).
If n is prime, the factorization is considered reached with (n=n*1).
If n is composite, the exhibited factorization is (n=p*q) with p least prime divisor of n.
