Hello everyone,

I was wondering, how do I tell if a number being tested is left unfactored once gmp-ecm is done with it? I've already modified the source to add an "output unfactored numbers" option but so far the if statement looks like:
if ((cnt == 0) && (output_unfactored_n == 1))
This way it will only run once, at the end of testing that particular number, but right now it is outputting unfactoreds alongside the factoreds. Is there a quick test I can put in my if statement to see if the number is unfactored? Thank you for any help you can give.
