Unverified claim: 200-digit number posted that supposedly divides RSA-260
marvinvonhagen · x · 2026-09-03
User @penlume posted a roughly 200-digit integer claiming it divides RSA-260, an unfactored RSA challenge number. If true it would be a major result in integer factorization, but the claim is unverified — no proof or independent validation was provided.
