Applaud, if it's true. Alas, I expect it too will come to nothing (oh, OK,
I already, and quite sincerely, believe it's full of beans).

Here's a vastly improved Surrogate Factoring Theorem:

Theorem VISFT

Let M be a composite integer to be factored. Let T be a non-zero
integer. Let r be any non-zero rational factor of T. Then r is a
rational factor of M. Contrarily, let r by any non-zero rational
factor of M. Then r is a rational factor of T.

Proof:

Case 1: Let r =/= 0 be a rational factor of T. Then M = (r)(M/r).
Therefore r is a rational factor of M.

Case 2: Let r =/= 0 be a rational factor of M. Then T = (r)(T/r).
Therefore r is a rational factor of T.

QED

That's much better than your theorem, in part because it's much clearer, and
in part because it LINKS the rational factors of M to the rational factors
of ALL other non-zero integers SIMULTANEOUSLY! An INFINITY of
factorizations ALL LINKED to M's factorization AT ONCE!!

If your work is beyond brilliant, well, you'll just have to hit a dictionary
to describe the worth of that one.

Alas, while a true theorem, it appears equally uninteresting. Feel free to
claim it's your own.
