Henrik Olsen announces the complete factorization of the number
N=(184^49-1)/(184^7-1) from The Expanded Cunningham Table by the
Special Number Field Sieve (SNFS). It was previously known that
N = 6763 * c92
where c92 is a 92 digit composite number given by
c92 = 1959788382976413147289283330815618332649\
5994229476995760545257556753592207198449\
333457175107
The two polynomials used were
X^6 + X^5 + X^4 + X^3 + X^2 + X + 1 and
X - 184^7
with common root 184^7 (mod N).
The region sieved was b < 60000 and |a| < 262144.
A factorbase size of 100000 and large prime bound of
20M was used for both polynomials.
A total of 2104013 relations was collected forming
a 179020 x 181822 matrix.
The linear algebra stage took 1.4 CPU hours on a
400MHz P-II using about 34M of memory, the square
root stage took 8 minutes and found the factorisation
in the first dependency checked.
On Mar 29, 2000 it was found that c92 = p36 * p57
p36 = 175544263714516095746624172213069991
p57 = 111640696284076552462211777968526227201297071005335023877
