In mathematics and computer science, computational number theory, also known as algorithmic number theory, is the study of computational methods for investigating and solving problems in number theory and arithmetic geometry, including algorithms for primality testing and integer factorization, finding solutions to diophantine equations, and explicit methods in arithmetic geometry.

This section has a simplified version of the algorithm, showing how to compute the product of two natural numbers ,, modulo a number of the form +, where = is some fixed number. The integers a , b {\displaystyle a,b} are to be divided into D = 2 k {\displaystyle D=2^{k}} blocks of M {\displaystyle M} bits, so in practical implementations, it is ...

The algorithm was introduced in 1978 by the number theorist John M. Pollard, in the same paper as his better-known Pollard's rho algorithm for solving the same problem. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Although Pollard described the application of his algorithm to the discrete logarithm problem in the multiplicative group of units modulo a prime p , it is in fact a ...
In computational number theory, Cipolla's algorithm is a technique for solving a congruence of the form (),where ,, so n is the square of x, and where is an odd prime.Here denotes the finite field with elements; {,, …,}.
