Contribution and Reservation

ECM, P-1, P+1

Look for prime factors by GMP-ECM first. Refer to the section "Efforts by ECM". Not only ECM but also P-1/P+1 may be helpful.

SNFS

Use GGNFS and/or Msieve if GMP-ECM cannot find a factor. The SNFS difficulty of this composite number is 200.24-digit and the GNFS difficulty is 183.94-digit. SNFS must be faster than GNFS. It will take about 20 CPU-days to factor this composite number on 64-bit Opteron-2600MHz.

1. Put factMsieve.pl to which $GGNFS_BIN_PATH and $NUM_CPUS were modified properly in the working directory 38887_198.
2. Put the following polynomial file 38887_198.poly in there too.
3. And then, run "perl factMsieve.pl 38887_198".
