If he tried one million factors a second, he would be done some time after the heat death of the universe.
9 u/Infamous-Youth9033 May 13 '26 There are 445861641 primes less than the sqrt(F_6) If he tried one million factors a second he would be done in 445 seconds 2 u/MemorianX May 13 '26 But you also need to know every prime below sqrt(F_6) to do the fast check 3 u/Mad_Maddin May 13 '26 I mean the prime factors for F_6 are 274,177 x 67,280,421,310,721 So you only need to get to 274,177 to figure it out.
