  2. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    The polynomial x 2 + cx + d, where a + b = c and ab = d, can be factorized into (x + a)(x + b).. In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind.

  3. Fermat's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_factorization_method

    Fermat's factorization method, named after Pierre de Fermat, is based on the representation of an odd integer as the difference of two squares: =. That difference is algebraically factorable as (+) (); if neither factor equals one, it is a proper factorization of N.

  4. Special number field sieve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_number_field_sieve

    The SNFS works as follows. Let n be the integer we want to factor. As in the rational sieve, the SNFS can be broken into two steps: First, find a large number of multiplicative relations among a factor base of elements of Z/nZ, such that the number of multiplicative relations is larger than the number of elements in the factor base.

  5. General number field sieve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_number_field_sieve

    In number theory, the general number field sieve (GNFS) is the most efficient classical algorithm known for factoring integers larger than 10 100. Heuristically, its complexity for factoring an integer n (consisting of ⌊log 2 n ⌋ + 1 bits) is of the form

  6. Pollard's p − 1 algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollard%27s_p_%E2%88%92_1...

    Assume that p − 1, where p is the smallest prime factor of n, can be modelled as a random number of size less than √ n. By Dixon's theorem, the probability that the largest factor of such a number is less than (p − 1) 1/ε is roughly ε −ε; so there is a probability of about 3 −3 = 1/27 that a B value of n 1/6 will yield a factorisation.

  7. Quadratic sieve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_sieve

    The quadratic sieve algorithm (QS) is an integer factorization algorithm and, in practice, the second-fastest method known (after the general number field sieve).It is still the fastest for integers under 100 decimal digits or so, and is considerably simpler than the number field sieve.

  8. What is a factor rate and how to calculate it - AOL

    Factor rates work by multiplying the decimal by the entire loan amount upfront. Factor rates typically range from 1.10 to 1.50 and only apply to the original amount of money borrowed.

  9. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    A general-purpose factoring algorithm, also known as a Category 2, Second Category, or Kraitchik family algorithm, [10] has a running time which depends solely on the size of the integer to be factored. This is the type of algorithm used to factor RSA numbers. Most general-purpose factoring algorithms are based on the congruence of squares method.
