Many people have been waiting for this for a while. One would have needed some luck to find that factor with GMP-ECM.

Awesome! Have you notified Crandall and Pomerance, this particular number is mentioned in their book.

And where can we get hold of that number?

The convention seems to be that the number generated by the n'th term is EMn, and factoring EMn gives the (n+1)th term of the sequence. That is, the first 43 terms were known. Their product plus one is referred to as EM43. The smallest prime factor of EM43 is the 44'th term of the sequence.

Using Dario's applet, I ran curves 1-383, so no factor smaller than 25 digits.

 2010-03-10, 19:03 #8 sean     Aug 2004 New Zealand 2·3·37 Posts Not that it is needed, but one more factor for the 46th stage: Code: 46 127.6069700067.56020785082237742556947.c215

I already have it to 35 digits (work in progress on 45 digits across 10 cores).

perhaps 'NFS@Home' better?
