16.3, due on November 30

The Interesting

I think it's cool that we did the example in class today with n = 2773 and we got to read about the case you mentioned in class. I really liked class on Wednesday and feel like I had a pretty good understanding of the material, but it was hard to understand the follow-up information in the chapter. 

The Challenging

So in class we found 2P and the book found that 3P factored n, but if you haven't factored n by 3P, do you just keep going and hope to find a factor?

13.1 was pretty fuzzy for me. I guess I don't understand what it means to have multiple roots, because I thought we were looking for the roots.
