JSH: Newest factoring algorithm

After my latest miss-steps I went back, looked everything over again
and finally noticed something that was bizarrely, simply obvious and
staring me in the face.

Here's the factoring algorithm that results.

Given an odd target composite T, for a test odd prime p, iterate
through non-zero integers k until

T - k^2 mod p

is a quadratic residue. If no k will work, discard that prime p and
try another. If one does work then get α from

α^2 = (T - k^2)(k^2)^{-1} mod p.

Then you have residues of your factors modulo p from

f_1 = αk mod p

and

f_2 = α^{-1}(1 + α^2)k mod p

where f_1*f_2 = T.

Trivial factorizations if they are given can be discarded by noting
that your residues is the same as T, though one caveat is that for a
given prime p, one of your factors may equal the residue of the target
composite T.

OK, for the nth time, factorize

I bet your pathetic method can't tackle this before the end of
the universe. Come on, you nitwit, prove me wrong.

Interesting concept of what's bizarre.

There are an infinite number of odd primes p. What limits would you
suggest for the search: 3 <= p <= ???. Searching an infinite number
of primes can take an infinite amount of time.

You start with p=3 and work up from there until the product of your
primes that work is greater than the square root of the target.
