Problem Description

A general-purpose factoring algorithm, also known as a Category 2, Second Category, or Kraitchik family algorithm,[9] has a running time which depends solely on the size of the integer to be factored. This is the type of algorithm used to factor RSA numbers. Most general-purpose factoring algorithms are based on the congruence of squares method.
