When looking at this result, I was expecting it to be yet another composite factor. Turns out it wasn't:

[M]M12731681[/M] has a 151.792-bit (46-digit) factor: [URL="https://www.mersenne.ca/M12731681"]4942614515973735792916302243662188576877302039[/URL] (P-1,B1=400000,B2=428459850)

That will be 17th place on the [URL="https://www.mersenne.ca/userfactors/pm1/1/bits"]Mersenne top factors for P-1[/URL] and is by far the biggest factor I ever found with P-1! :big grin:

Whaaa! Congrats! Nice found!
Same number of digits like my best (currently position 13), but it falls about 0.9 bits shorter :razz:

Getting lucky again with my P-1 factoring:

[M]M12782851[/M] has a 235.159-bit (71-digit) [B]composite[/B] (P21+P24+P27) factor: [URL="https://www.mersenne.ca/M12782851"]61645213700098762638579831947213762951673986053039553206940532463429217[/URL] (P-1,B1=400000,B2=428459850)

That's the biggest triple factor I ever found (out of 4 in total).

P-1 found a factor in stage #1, B1=509000.
UID: Jwb52z/Clay, M115285087 has a factor: 111450819426998736215606681 (P-1, B1=509000)

86.527 bits.

I finally found one that made the top 500 in this list [url]https://www.mersenne.ca/userfactors/pm1/1/bits[/url].

[url]https://www.mersenne.ca/exponent/3884411[/url] has a 123.607 bit exponent.

currently at #384 and the first factor I have found larger than 109 bits!

[QUOTE=DrobinsonPE;605923]...the first factor I have found larger than 109 bits![/QUOTE]But according to your [url=https://www.mersenne.ca/userfactors/pm1/82293/bits]personal factors list[/url], you've found this and 4 other factors larger than 109.x bits, including two larger than this (131 & 136 bits, #84 & #158 in the top-500 list).

Cool! I did not know that list existed. I was just watching the factors I found and keeping track in my head. Obviously i missed a few and found some before I started looking.

You are my new favorite person for today!

Hi James. Are you the right person to ask about merging my two IDs as shown on that list (the old "Lord Julius" into newer "LordJulius")? If it's simple, I would appreciate it.
