ALGORITHMS FOR SOLVING THE FACTORIZATION PROBLEM
Abstract
In this article, Fermat's factorization method and Pollard's Rho method are proposed to solve the factorization problem. Experiments showed that Pollard's Rho method is more efficient in solving the factorization problem compared to Fermat's factorization method, particularly in terms of time and memory complexity. The results of the experiments are planned to be discussed in detail in the next articles.
