Goodness, that's a large factor. P-1, I presume?

TF. First dual 70 bit factors I've seen for an exponent.

I didn't know that was possible.

Why not? There's no reason a number can't have two factors that happen to have the same bit length. There's probably about a 1/4900 (70^(-2)) chance that any particular Mersenne number has two factors that are 70 bits long, so it should be rare, but it's possible.

I thought it would stop after finding the smaller one.

I wouldn't have been surprised to see a composite factor found by P-1.

Because prime95 will stop at the first found factor?!

Not anymore, IIRC

Why multiply them, instead of reporting them as they are found?

Huh? It used to be that, once upon a time, p95 used to go ahead with TF even if a factor was found, just to make sure that no _smaller_ factor was missed. Then, that was removed. You mean to say that this (mis)feature has been reintroduced?!
