mp_limb_t qsieve_ll_factor(mp_limb_t hi, mp_limb_t lo)

|
|
|
Given an integer \code{n = (hi, lo)} find a factor and return it.
|
|
If a tiny factor is encountered, this is returned very quickly.
|
|
Otherwise the quadratic sieve algorithm is employed. The algorithm
|
|
requires that $n$ not be prime and not be a perfect power. There is
|
|
also a limit to the size of $n$. During the algorithm $n$ will be
|
|
multiplied by a small multiplier $k$ (from 1 to 47). The product
|
|
$kn$ must fit in two limbs. If not the algorithm will silently
|
|
fail, returning 0. Otherwise a factor of $n$ which fits in a single
|
|
limb will be returned.
