Why can’t you use cyclotomic polynomials to factor big numbers really quickly? – mathoverflow.net

Two simple remarks: The polynomial $x^k-1$ can be factorised over the integers as a product of (irreducible) cyclotomic polynomials: $$x^k-1 = \prod_{d|k}\Phi_d(x).$$ If we choose $k$ to be a number ...
