Abstract
We show that the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector (LRLV) generates the Infeld-Hull radial factorization and the pair of isospectral Hamiltonians for the non-relativistic Kepler-Coulomb quantum problem. To do this we only use the LRLV and arguments of general soundness. Finally, the well known restrictions on the orbital angular momentum and the principal quantum numbers are rederived from the corresponding ladder operators.
