Why factors prime95 only up to 59 bit at exponnent which are for doublechecking? The other (9million) are up to 62 bit. Why is that so? Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm

Mersenne: Distributed NFS project

1999-04-16 Thread Conrad Curry
Call for Participants - After M601 the next smallest Mersenne number is M617, which is on the 'More Wanted' list of the Cunningham project. I am organizing a distributed NFS effort to factor M617. Some binaries are available for x86, alpha, and sparc solaris at ftp://ft

Mersenne: NFS factorizations

1999-04-16 Thread Conrad Curry
C(2,601-) Factored -- M601 has been completely factored by the Special Number Field Sieve (SNFS). It was previously known that M601 = 3607 * 64863527 * c170 The factor 3607 was found by Riesel in 1957 and the factor 64863527 was found by Brillhart and Johnson in 1960.
