Factoring is not NP-hard (fixed!), it's simpler than that (but not, until the present day, P)

It is NP though (edited as per child comment)

It is NP (well, it would be if it were a decision problem). It is not (known to be) NP-complete (or, equivalently since it is NP, NP-hard).
Ah true, my mistake, it is not NP-hard but it is in NP

Wikipedia says it's UP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UP_%28complexity%29 (which is contained in NP)
