I could not to factorrize the number of 156 six and ended in one.

Why? This is trivial and it took me only a few minutes to solve

6(10^157-1)/9-5 = A * B where A and B are both prime, A<B

A = 628486628437275763243226019561267587348336747741014522686317
and
B = 106074916553805623004662881363542072346327989634793446610616

I logged in only to see if anyone solved my little problem or
trick in the same newsgroups:

Subject: Factorization theory wrong? Or algorithmic error?

One person only solved this:
Pertti's Ghost <lounesto-***@helsinki.edu.fi>
by understanding what is the meaning of "factorizing", and what is
the meaning of "almost", when is April 1 and other issues.

Some other are near misses - but only PG got all the points correct.

Most humiliatingly incorrect was:
Pubkeybreaker <***@aol.com>
but no more can be expected from AO Luser or Dullrich.

Thank you,

You appear to think that C=C*1 is a non-trivial decomposition
on April 1. You are wrong (note no manipulation is needed).

All in all a pretty pathetic effort.

Thanks, very much. Can you supply the source of the program utilized?
