Hi all

is it possible to find the pell equations of the RSA numbers as in:

 X^2=d*Y^2+1 where d=RSA number

And could Y in this case have a simple form like for example:

X=3*37239639534523*518144156602508243009*4000659204579114753312310878847043­­394855313

d=1238926361552897*93461639715357977769163558199606896584051237541638188580­­280321
 Y=2^129

google: lenstra "solving the pell equation"

There is also video available somewhere at MSRI.

Finding solutions for even a moderate size d is not easy.

Hi Rich,

i believe Lenstra's paper uses continued fractions if i recall it
right.

The problem i'm having is not the size of d it is factoring d.
I think i can easily push the size of d into the RSA range.

Is there a link for the video?
