  2. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    For example, if n = 171 × p × q where p < q are very large primes, trial division will quickly produce the factors 3 and 19 but will take p divisions to find the next factor. As a contrasting example, if n is the product of the primes 13729, 1372933, and 18848997161, where 13729 × 1372933 = 18848997157, Fermat's factorization method will ...

  3. Dixon's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixon's_factorization_method

    Dixon's method replaces the condition "is the square of an integer" with the much weaker one "has only small prime factors"; for example, there are 292 squares smaller than 84923; 662 numbers smaller than 84923 whose prime factors are only 2,3,5 or 7; and 4767 whose prime factors are all less than 30.

  4. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    For example, the fundamental theorem of algebra, which states that every polynomial with complex coefficients has complex roots, implies that a polynomial with integer coefficients can be factored (with root-finding algorithms) into linear factors over the complex field C.

  5. General number field sieve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_number_field_sieve

    The method of choosing polynomials based on the expansion of n in base m shown above is suboptimal in many practical situations, leading to the development of better methods. One such method was suggested by Murphy and Brent; [ 3 ] they introduce a two-part score for polynomials, based on the presence of roots modulo small primes and on the ...

  6. 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: N = a 2 − b 2 . {\displaystyle N=a^{2}-b^{2}.} That difference is algebraically factorable as ( a + b ) ( a − b ) {\displaystyle (a+b)(a-b)} ; if neither factor equals one, it is a proper ...

  7. 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.
