A 112-digit personal
record prime factor has been found on
April 1st, 2016. It divides the 226-digit
number 7 • 2746 + 1 = p112 • p114.
Work is progressing on factorising numbers of the form
k • 2n ± 1
with k (odd) from 3 to 15 and n ≤ 1000. The results are
recorded by
Mikael Klasson. More...
Msieve, written by Jason Papadopoulos is described. It contains
