Mersenne: V20.1.1 P-1 Factoring

2000-03-24 Thread Hoogendoorn, Sander
The folowing exponents where factored by P-1, but why are the bounds so different? The first had a chance of 1.77% and the other two about 3.7% to find a factor . UID: sanderh/PC, M5542549 completed P-1, B1=7, B2=7, WW1: 8F7EF481 UID: sanderh/PC, M5542723 completed P-1, B1=6, B2=75000
