Potential primality of F33, F34, and F35

F33, F34, and F35 are the smallest Fermat numbers (of unknown primality) that could be prime.

I'm assuming that various researchers have attempted to factor them and that their attempts have been...

Independent GPU factoring

My wish is to independently test a series of Proth numbers with a particular k > 10,000 over millions of n values. I have a computer with an Nvidia 1080 Ti GPU to factor such a range, but I don't...

Oh, I get it now. I had it in my head that M ≡ x·y (mod p1·p2)

Whoops!

M2 ≡ x2 ≡ a (mod p1) and M2 ≡ y2 ≡ a (mod p2)

Therefore, since both p1 & p2 evenly divide (M2 - a), their product must...

A new factor of F11?!

When using Leonid Durman's "Fermat.exe version 4.4, beta" software, I got the following result:



I used the input "n = 14 to 14" and "k = 9 to 100000000"

The first two factors are known, but...

The original information could be useful if Euler's factorization method was attempted.

If N = A^2 + B^2 = C^2 + D^2, then N can be factored.

1,990,292,873 = 44,449 x 44,777

My TI-86 graphing calculator program factored this number using Fermat factorization almost immediately.

Assume N = p*q is a semiprime and that B and N are relatively prime. Then B^(N+1) must be congruent to B^(p+q) (mod N).

So let's use N = 77 = 7*11 and B = 2.
Then 2^(77+1) = 2^(7+11) (mod 77)...

(FYI: 2^3217 - 1 is a Mersenne prime.)
