  2. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    The formula for the difference of two squares can be used for factoring polynomials that contain the square of a first quantity minus the square of a second quantity. For example, the polynomial x 4 − 1 {\displaystyle x^{4}-1} can be factored as follows:

  3. Euler's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_factorization_method

    The Brahmagupta–Fibonacci identity states that the product of two sums of two squares is a sum of two squares. Euler's method relies on this theorem but it can be viewed as the converse, given n = a 2 + b 2 = c 2 + d 2 {\displaystyle n=a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}+d^{2}} we find n {\displaystyle n} as a product of sums of two squares.

  4. Multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm

    In this application, the sum and difference of two input voltages are formed using operational amplifiers. The square of each of these is approximated using piecewise linear circuits. Finally the difference of the two squares is formed and scaled by a factor of one fourth using yet another operational amplifier.

  5. 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.

  6. Congruence of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_of_squares

    The set of small primes which all the y factor into is called the factor base. Construct a logical matrix where each row describes one y, each column corresponds to one prime in the factor base, and the entry is the parity (even or odd) of the number of times that factor occurs in y. Our goal is to select a subset of rows whose sum is the all ...

  7. Shor's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm

    As far as is known, this is not possible using classical (non-quantum) computers; no classical algorithm is known that can factor integers in polynomial time. However, Shor's algorithm shows that factoring integers is efficient on an ideal quantum computer, so it may be feasible to defeat RSA by constructing a large quantum computer.

  8. Sum of two squares theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_squares_theorem

    Therefore, the theorem states that it is expressible as the sum of two squares. Indeed, 2450 = 7 2 + 49 2. The prime decomposition of the number 3430 is 2 · 5 · 7 3. This time, the exponent of 7 in the decomposition is 3, an odd number. So 3430 cannot be written as the sum of two squares.

  9. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_theorem_on_sums_of...

    For the avoidance of ambiguity, zero will always be a valid possible constituent of "sums of two squares", so for example every square of an integer is trivially expressible as the sum of two squares by setting one of them to be zero. 1. The product of two numbers, each of which is a sum of two squares, is itself a sum of two squares.
