Smallest "diamond-number" above some power of ten?
Let us call a positive integer $N$ a "diamond-number" if it has the form $p^2q$ with distinct primes $p,q$ with the same number of decimal digits. An example is $N=10^{19}+93815391$. Its ...

Finding square root modulo $n$ and factorization of $n$ [duplicate]
I have this task to prove that the factorization of number $n = p \cdot q$ (where $p$ and $q$ are prime) task is equivalent to finding square root module n.
I have found this lecture that explains the ...

Does the monoid of non-zero representations with the tensor product admit unique factorization?
Let $(M, \cdot, 1)$ be a monoid. We will now define the notion of unique factorization monoid. A non-invertible element in $M$ is called irreducible if it cannot be written as the product of two other ...

Expected number of factors of $LCM(1,…,n)$ (particularly, potentially, when $n=8t$)
I’m trying to prove something regarding $8t$-powersmooth numbers (a $k$-powersmooth number $n$ is one for which all prime powers $p^m$ such that $p^m|n$ are such that $p^m\le k$). Essentially, I have ...

Converting a Quartic Term into Quadratic Form in QUBO for Prime Factorization
I'm trying to embed the prime factorization problem into the form of a QUBO. To do so, let $p$ and $q$ be two real positive numbers. We can represent these two numbers as binary numbers, which itself ...

Matrix Representation for Prime Factorization in QUBO Form
I'm trying to reproduce a paper on Prime Factorization. This paper converts the prime factorization problem into a QUBO form, which then we can map it to the Ising model.
As an example, let $p$ and $q$...

Find the next "consecutive-prime composite number" from a given one.
Good day all. I am not a mathematician by a long shot. Please bear with me...
I am playing with "descending-consecutive-prime composite numbers" (I don't think that's the term). These are ...

distribution of square roots of unity $mod n$ | Factoring with inverse pair
I am writing a proof related to the RSA cryptosystem, specifically showing that given an inverse pair $d, c$ under multiplication mod $\phi(N)$, where
$$ dc \equiv 1 \pmod{\phi(N)}, $$
there exists a ...

Reducible/Irreducible Polynomials in Ring Theory
I have this following exercise I've been trying to solve for a while now.
We are supposed to study the irreducibility of the polynomial $A=X^4 +1$ in $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ and in $\mathbb{Z}/p \mathbb{Z}$ ...

How to find a primitive element to split a prime $p$ in a number field
The Dedekind-Kummer Theorem allows one to split primes in a number field $K$ by splitting the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ modulo $p$, where $\alpha$ is a primitive element for $K$ contained in the ...

What is the rate of increase in magnitude of a sorted list of factors of a large integer
I understand that the Hardy-Ramanujan theorum shows that a very large integer $n$ will on average have about $log(log(n))$ distinct factors. What I am interested in is how the magitude of the factors ...
