The Factoring Machine *now hiring*
The original Factoring machine is located at http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/51765660/. The purpose of this collab is to complete The Factoring Machine, designed to factor numbers. This will be achieved by remixing the previous version. (We can still share here.) I will help add primes to the project.
When I say “factor” I mean 5043191 would display 1, 1789, 2819, 5043191 and such.

What do you mean by the word “factoring” I see a bunch of primes
but do you mean
Quadratic Factoring (like FOIL)
where you multiply two quadratic binomials?

I see like a factoring tree

Here's how it works it checks through 2 if yes than 2 and n/2 is added then 3, 5, 7, to sqrt and then they add products of the factors and remove numbers >n or are duplicates. simple

If you got this to work for HUGE (REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY HUGE) numbers and made it extremely fast, you'd put a lot of cryptography out of business xD

uh i'd need like 200-digit primes… If you got this to work for HUGE (REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY HUGE) numbers and made it extremely fast, you'd put a lot of cryptography out of business xD

Hmm
Wiki says
As of February 2015, the largest known prime number is a number with 17,425,170 digits.
is that big enough?
