-
Algorithm that finds non-trivial factors of certain numbers of the form a^b +/- 1.
-
Built by a French amateur, E.-O. Carissan, around 1919. Shallit, Williams and Morain include photographs and references to their paper.
-
Dedicated to algorithms and computational results on integer factorization. Includes links to papers, downloadable software, and online resources.
-
Cash prizes for new factors of Fermat numbers Fn, for n = 12 through 22.
-
Links to papers on the theory and practice of factoring.
-
Online calculator that factorizes large numbers, specified by formula.
-
Java applet that can be used to find 20- or 30-digit factors of numbers or numerical expressions up to 1000 digits long. It also computes the number and sum of divisors, the Euler's totient and moebius functions, and the decomposition of the number in a sum of up to four squares.
-
F10 = 2^(2^10) + 1 is the 10-th Fermat number. Richard Brent describes his discovery of the two largest factors.
-
Announcement of factorization of a 512-bit RSA key using the General Number Field Sieve (GNFS).
-
Factorizations of numbers composed of all the same digit except first and/or last.
-
Divisibility, primes and binary numbers.
-
Paul Leyland's list of his own and other factorisations.
-
A listing of all the known pairs of numbers, each of which is the sum of the aliquot divisors of the other. Complete for smaller numbers, and extending beyond 200 digits.
-
Factoring efforts that have been made so far on numbers of the form n!+-1 using ECM factoring.
-
Numbers representative of those used in the RSA cryptosystem are offered for factor attempts with prizes. A Partition List challenge is also provided in order to encourage work on factoring in general.
-
Screensaver program tries to find divisors of Fermat numbers.
-
Sierpinski proved there exist infinitely many odd integers k such that k*2^n+1 is composite for every n. Ray Ballinger coordinates a search to prove or disprove whether k=78557 is the smallest solution.
-
Aimed at grade school students and teachers, includes course guidelines, worksheets, and factor tables up to 600.
-
