Henrik Olsen announces the complete factorization of the number
N=(405^49-1)/(405^7-1) from The Expanded Cunningham Table by the
Special Number Field Sieve (SNFS). It was previously known that
N = 10781 * c106
where c106 is a 106 digit composite number given by
c106 = 3023095932688927394238140916230773315262\
2476805564484438058655272205271383588698\
97213779414107548578811871
The two polynomials used were
X^6 + X^5 + X^4 + X^3 + X^2 + X + 1 and
X - 405^7
with common root 405^7 (mod N).
The region sieved was b < 140300 and |a| < 262144.
A factorbase size of 100000 and large prime bound of
20M was used for both polynomials.
A total of 1947194 relations was collected forming
a 212454 x 213104 matrix.
The linear algebra stage took 2.7 CPU hours on a
375MHz Celeron using about ~45M of memory, the square
root stage took 11.6 minutes and found the factorisation
in the first dependency checked.
On May 18, 2000 it was found that c106 = p52 * p55
p52 = 1039994369909403327639066252669922057135109132779531
p55 = 2906838748513876389487877001991018660120320041361158141
