  2. Dixon's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixon's_factorization_method

    Dixon's method is based on finding a congruence of squares modulo the integer N which is intended to factor. Fermat's factorization method finds such a congruence by selecting random or pseudo-random x values and hoping that the integer x 2 mod N is a perfect square (in the integers):

    Bernard Frénicle de Bessy (c. 1604 – 1674), was a French mathematician born in Paris, who wrote numerous mathematical papers, mainly in number theory and combinatorics.He is best remembered for Des quarrez ou tables magiques, a treatise on magic squares published posthumously in 1693, in which he described all 880 essentially different normal magic squares of order 4.

  4. Most-perfect magic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most-perfect_magic_square

    Apart from the trivial case of the first order square, most-perfect magic squares are all of order 4n. In their book, Kathleen Ollerenshaw and David S. Brée give a method of construction and enumeration of all most-perfect magic squares. They also show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between reversible squares and most-perfect magic ...

    The square of mn, mn being a two-digit integer, can be calculated as 10 × m(mn + n) + n 2. Meaning the square of mn can be found by adding n to mn, multiplied by m, adding 0 to the end and finally adding the square of n. For example, 23 2: 23 2 = 10 × 2(23 + 3) + 3 2 = 10 × 2(26) + 9 = 520 + 9 = 529. So 23 2 = 529.

  6. Nine dots puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_dots_puzzle

    To do so, one goes outside the confines of the square area defined by the nine dots themselves. The phrase thinking outside the box, used by management consultants in the 1970s and 1980s, is a restatement of the solution strategy. According to Daniel Kies, the puzzle seems hard because we commonly imagine a boundary around the edge of the dot ...

  8. Fermat's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_factorization_method

    Squares are always congruent to 0, 1, 4, 5, 9, 16 modulo 20. The values repeat with each increase of a by 10. In this example, N is 17 mod 20, so subtracting 17 mod 20 (or adding 3), produces 3, 4, 7, 8, 12, and 19 modulo 20 for these values. It is apparent that only the 4 from this list can be a square.
