[yoyo@home] Amazing ECM factor!

Post by BOINC_News »

User Favebook found a 77-digit prime factor of an Homogeneous Cunningham number using ECM. This is by far the largest factor found anywhere by ECM this year, and is the 4th largest ever. Very exciting!This was a very lucky find (about a 1 in 28.3 million chance for a single curve).
