Hi,

I've always had an interest in math and number theory, so NFS@Home sounded fun.

Could someone point me in the right direction as to how NFS@Home is tackling the factorizations?

Thanks,

John

For the technical details of how to do a factorization, see http://gilchrist.ca/jeff/factoring/nfs_beginners_guide.html. For the theoretical background, see http://web.archive.org/web/20070414215646/http://islab.oregonstate.edu/koc/ece575/03Project/Case/paper.pdf.
