Goodness, that's a large factor. P-1, I presume?

TF. First dual 70 bit factors I've seen for an exponent. :coffee:

I didn't know that was possible.

Why not? There's no reason a number can't have two factors that happen to have the same bit length. There's probably about a 1/4900 (70^(-2)) chance that any particular Mersenne number has two factors that are 70 bits long, so it should be rare, but it's possible.

I [I]thought[/I] it would stop after finding the smaller one.

I wouldn't have been surprised to see a composite factor found by P-1.

Because prime95 will stop at the first found factor?! :unsure:

Not anymore, IIRC

Luigi

Why multiply them, instead of reporting them as they are found?

Huh? It used to be that, once upon a time, p95 used to go ahead with TF even if a factor was found, just to make sure that no _smaller_ factor was missed. Then, that was removed. You mean to say that this (mis)feature has been reintroduced?!
