• - Java applet that can be used to find 20- or 30-digit factors of numbers or numerical expressions up to 1000 digits long. It also computes the number and sum of divisors, the Euler's totient and moebius functions, and the decomposition of the number in a s
  
• - Aimed at grade school students and teachers, includes course guidelines, worksheets, and factor tables up to 600.
  
• - Numbers representative of those used in the RSA cryptosystem are offered for factor attempts with prizes. A Partition List challenge is also provided in order to encourage work on factoring in general.
  
• - F10 = 2^(2^10) + 1 is the 10-th Fermat number. Richard Brent describes his discovery of the two largest factors.
  
• - A definition and description of the Anti-Divisor, and some related results.
  
• - Algorithm that finds non-trivial factors of certain numbers of the form a^b +/- 1.
