Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for compressing data determines a common divisor for a set of values comprising integers. The system divides each value within the set of values by the common divisor to produce reduced values, and represents the set of values in the form of data indicating the common divisor and the reduced values. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for compressing data in substantially the same manners described above.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A computer-implemented method of compressing data comprising: determining a common divisor for a set of values comprising integers; dividing each value within the set of values by the common divisor to produce reduced values; and compressing the set of values by representing the set of values in the form of data indicating the common divisor and the reduced values. 2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the c…
