In this example, we will show you how to use the DistributedFactor
class that comes built-in with dsage. DistributedFactor attempts to
factor numbers by using a combination of the ECM and the QSieve algorithm, as
well as trial factorization for small factors.
- Run
d = dsage.start_all() if you have not started your
dsage session yet, otherwise you can continue to use the previous
d instance.
- Start the distributed factoring job with
factor_job = DistributedFactor(d, number). You can pick fairly
large values, try for example 
. You can see whether or not the
factoring job is done by looking at the factor_job.done attribute.
When it is done, you can look at the prime factors it found by inspecting
factor_job.prime_factors.
