A quick survey shows that Lpf is used in the OEIS about equally often
for the least prime factor and for the greatest (i.e., largest) prime
factor. Gpf is often used instead for the greatest prime factor, and
spf is sometimes used instead for the smallest prime factor.
What should the standard names be for these functions? Is there a
standard in the mathematical literature?
My own vote would be for Lpf for least and Gpf for greatest.
