This looks like any old factor... until you take a look at the effort required for this one. Normal P-1 is at 1,069.7 GHz-days and the min. bounds are B1=597,137 and B2=22,193,557,699

:mike:

It was suggested that ECM often makes more sense on those smaller Mersenne than P-1, and yes, there are a lot of low-hanging fruits with t35 done only partially. 1500 B1=1M curves on a 10 core take about 1.5 days and you can be fairly certain you won't miss any factor < 35 digits with that.

Don't take this too serious, I did a lot of P-1 and even P+1 and I definitely get the lottery appeal of it with the chance to score big... :)

3 in a row via P1.

Yeah, my first double factor in one P-1 attempt. And it includes the largest factor, I found so far (#172 in the Top P-1 factor list).

It's the third factor of M21013 (1.56%), remaining co-factor is composite. That factor could have quite likely been found with B1=1M already.

Simon Josefsson has found a factor (7th biggest!)

I had trouble with the group order though, it had 17 and 18 digits factors which doesn't agree with the B1/B2 bounds. Switching to parameter=1 didn't help. Does anyone know what I did wrong?
