Abstract

Factor is a program which accesses a large database of factors of integers of the form an_1. As of March 1994 the database contains more than 175,000 factors of size at least 104. The program factor implements a simple version of the Elliptic Curve algorithm if it is unable to complete a factorization using trial division and the factor database. Factor is written in Turbo Pascal and runs on IBM PC or compatible computers. This report describes factor and various related programs. The programs and the factor database are available from the author.
