Anyone got a list of all the primes under 1.77 * 10^96?

I need to factorise this number, and that list would be AWFULLY handy. :D

As an ammendment, I probbably only need a list of all the primes between 1.77 * 10^96 and around 8.5 * 10^95 - roughly.

That should cut down computing time significantly.

Even then you'd be screwed. There's probably a huge amount of primes between those 2 numbers. I think I'll try to figure it out ...

Well there's 8.02 * 10^93 primes below 1.77 * 10^96
And there's 3.87 * 10^93 primes below 8.5 * 10^95

Which makes it roughly 4.13 * 10^93 primes I need.
Now at 8 bytes per prime. We're fucked.

Why are you trying to break such a large prime? (What secret message do you want to get at?)

They're not primes. They're numbers which are the product of 2 primes :p

I want 20 grand, that's what I want:p

Are you going to break this by hand as well??

We should have a BoS distributed computing effort to factor these numbers - a bit like GIMPS, but on a smaller scale.

there's a reason why bashing it doesn't work... it's called RSA encryption...

the reason keypad is doing it is because he doesn't realise how short these holidays are...

With a heck of a lot of computing power(and a good factoring algorithm)
Btw, are you sure it was this number? I don't think it has been factored yet:confused:

no- this other number on the website was factored!
