  2. FOIL method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOIL_method

    In the second step, the distributive law is used to simplify each of the two terms. Note that this process involves a total of three applications of the distributive property. In contrast to the FOIL method, the method using distributivity can be applied easily to products with more terms such as trinomials and higher.

    Now the product of the factors a − mb mod n can be obtained as a square in two ways—one for each homomorphism. Thus, one can find two numbers x and y, with x 2 − y 2 divisible by n and again with probability at least one half we get a factor of n by finding the greatest common divisor of n and x − y.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    Continuing this process until every factor is prime is called prime factorization; the result is always unique up to the order of the factors by the prime factorization theorem. To factorize a small integer n using mental or pen-and-paper arithmetic, the simplest method is trial division : checking if the number is divisible by prime numbers 2 ...

  7. Polynomial greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_greatest_common...

    There are several ways to find the greatest common divisor of two polynomials. Two of them are: Factorization of polynomials, in which one finds the factors of each expression, then selects the set of common factors held by all from within each set of factors. This method may be useful only in simple cases, as factoring is usually more ...

  8. Pollard's rho algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollard's_rho_algorithm

    The algorithm is used to factorize a number =, where is a non-trivial factor. A polynomial modulo , called () (e.g., () = (+)), is used to generate a pseudorandom sequence.It is important to note that () must be a polynomial.

  9. 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.
