m. Choose the degree d for our polynomial. (We will later give a heuristic<br />

argument on how to choose d so as to minimize the running time to factor<br />

n. Experimentally, for numbers of around 130 digits, the choice d = 5 is<br />

acceptable.) Let m = n 1/d ,andwriten in base m, sothat<br />

n = m d + cd−1m d−1 + ···+ c0,<br />

where each cj ∈ [0,m−1]. (From Exercise 6.8 we have that if 1.5(d/ ln 2) d
