I'm currently working in an algorithm to decompose matrices in classical standard generators.



The thing is that the parameter of my main function gets a matrix m.



With the method: q := DefaultFieldOfMatrix(m) I can get the field with $p^d$ elements where $p$ is a prime and $d$ a natural number.



How can I return $d$ from $q$? Notice that I do not have $p$... Is there a method in GAP to return $d$ when I have in hands only the finite field?



Thanks!
