RSA-110 Factored

Wednesday, April 1st, 1992

The number RSA-110 of the RSA Factoring Challenge {W} has been factored by Arjen K. Lenstra {W} and Mark S. Manasse.

The factorization is:

RSA-110 = 6122421090493547576937037317561418841225758554253106999
* 5846418214406154678836553182979162384198610505601062333

The computation took approximately one month.

RSA Labs Factoring Challenge Announced

Monday, March 18th, 1991

RSA Labs has announced a factoring challenge in order to determine the computational feasibility of factoring large semi-prime numbers of various bit lengths. RSA Labs is offering cash prises for various size numbers in the hope that the challenge will push the science of integer factorization ahead.
