    Graduate Factoring large N into prime factors

    thanks, that's perfect. The way in which i found (p-1)(q-1) is to take a set of sequences of powers of x mod N for x=1,2,...,N-1 and work out their periods, each period turns out to be a divisor of (p-1)(q-1), if a large enough number of divisors is taken, then the value of (p-1)(q-1) can be...

    Graduate Factoring large N into prime factors

    Hi, I am writing up a project based on an algorithm for factoring large numbers, I have reached seemingly simple point where I am stuck, I wonder if anyone can help me? I am trying to factor a large N such that N=pq for unknown primes p and q, I have described a method to find a value for...

    Graduate Infinitary union combined with infinitary intersection

    I am struggling with combining infinite unions with infinite intersections, the problem i have is to show that, for Sets Aij where i,j \inN (N=Natural Numbers) ∞...∞ \bigcup ( \bigcap Aij) i=0 j=0 is equal to ...∞ \bigcap{(\bigcupAih(i):h\inNN} ...
