I have downloaded the factor files suggested by GIMPS but it gives no
meaning. How do I read the files *.cmp?
And why is this not documented close to the source of the *.cmp files?
I am also a bit disannoyed about numbers less than M751 that should be
fully factorized seems unavaible, or am I looking the wrong places? Do
you know a site which I don't?
I'd also like to know about any number fully factorized, whatever size
it might be, and whatever size the factor(s) might be.
The next step for GIMPS is a faster factoring algorithm and the way to
get that will be that someone - maybe a mathematician or some
beer-drinking fool like me - finds the stones of immortality. :-)
Besides I have the question: "why does the advanced facor algortithm of
prime95 somtimes find 2 factors"? This happens eg. at M1289, has
108817410937 and 15856636079 as factors?
Happy hunting
