Aha. I've just found the "Is there a mathematical formula that will find prime numbers?" thread that you started over on sci.math. It looks like at least one of us has been trolled. I suggest you: (1) Ignore the formula Gerry gave you. It's completely impractical as a way of determining primality, and I'm certain that Gerry knew this. (2) Learn some elementary number theory before trying to crack RSA. Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
