[QUOTE=alpertron;603543]I'm working on the range 18.8M, but for several days there was no factorization:

Been there....sometimes our only luck is bad luck.... it always turns around.

With your good bounds it shouldn't be long.

Sorry... It looks like my Colab P-1'ers "took" your factors; they found four (4#) in the last 24 hours. LOL...

As Wayne said, it can be frustrating, but this is how statistics work. You are still well within the expected success rate; you shouldn't /yet/ distrust your hardware (nor the code).

Tangentially... Can anyone delegate to me another 0.01M range to give to the Colab crew? We're almost done with everything reserved in 18.84M.

I found two new factors, so everything (software and hardware) is OK:

[code]
Manual testing 18871889 F-PM1 2022-04-09 12:39 0.0 Factor: 409345190904906788363497 / (P-1, B1=1000000, B2=500458530) 29.8282
Manual testing 18871781 F-PM1 2022-04-09 04:02 0.0 Factor: 37910134458016135088804897239 / (P-1, B1=1000000) 0.9173
[/code]

Under 100!!! Woot Woot
 

99 more factors in 8 ranges; 5 are 8 or less and the max is 36.

Ranges Remaining: 7. Factors to Find: 83.

Both prime numbers... :smile:

And 108.9M too, it needs only 2 more factors!
But it should be done anyway before the project finishes.

With the new factor of M18868373, the range 18.8M is finally below 2000.

And 19.4 thanks to SethTro

5&55 to go.

Excellent. I'm going to bow out here. Good luck with the finish and many thanks for the project!

Thanks a lot ... the next project might be calling your name. :grin:

I mean all of you: masser, SethTro, Alpertron, Luminescence, and other names not on the tip of my tongue right now.

You are all appreciated and all welcome to move to project next.
