  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    Modern algorithms and computers can quickly factor univariate polynomials of degree more than 1000 having coefficients with thousands of digits. [3] For this purpose, even for factoring over the rational numbers and number fields, a fundamental step is a factorization of a polynomial over a finite field.

  5. Euler's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_factorization_method

    Euler's factorization method is a technique for factoring a number by writing it as a sum of two squares in two different ways. For example the number 1000009 {\displaystyle 1000009} can be written as 1000 2 + 3 2 {\displaystyle 1000^{2}+3^{2}} or as 972 2 + 235 2 {\displaystyle 972^{2}+235^{2}} and Euler's method gives the factorization ...

  6. Factorization of polynomials over finite fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of...

    Polynomial factoring algorithms use basic polynomial operations such as products, divisions, gcd, powers of one polynomial modulo another, etc. A multiplication of two polynomials of degree at most n can be done in O ( n 2 ) operations in F q using "classical" arithmetic, or in O ( n log( n ) log(log( n )) ) operations in F q using "fast ...

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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.
