Math. 12(3) (1962), 1099-1106) characterized the parity of the number of irreducible factors of trinomials over $F_2$. Many researchers have recently obtained Swan-like results on determining the reducibility of polynomials over finite fields. In this paper, we determine the parity of the number of irreducible factors for so-called Type I pentanomial $f(x)=x^m+x^{n+1}+x^n+x+1$ over $F_2$ with even $n$. Our result is based on the Stickelberger-Swan theorem and Newton's formula which is very useful for the computation of the discriminant of a polynomial."},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1406.7597","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
