/*
 * hset method
 *
 * We will assume that mfactor is called with p_elim == 17.
 *
 *	n = (the Mersenne exponent we are testing)
 *	Q = 4*2*3*5*7*11*13*17 (4 * pfact(of some reasonable integer))
 *
 * We first determine all values of h mod Q such that:
 *
 *	gcd(h*n+1, Q) == 1   and   h*n+1 == +/-1 mod 8
 *
 * There will be 2*1*2*4*6*10*12*16 such values of h.
 *
 * For efficiency, we keep the difference between consecutive h values
 * in the hset[] difference array with hset[0] being the first h value.
 * Last, we multiply the hset[] values by n so that we only need
 * to add sequential values of hset[] to get factor candidates.
 *
 * We need only test factors of the form:
 *
 *	(Q*g*n + hx) + 1
 *
 * where:
 *
 *	g is an integer >= 0
 *	hx is computed from hset[] difference value described above
 *
 * Note that (Q*g*n + hx) is always even and that hx is a multiple
 * of n.  Thus the typical factor form:
 *
 *	2*k*n + 1
 *
 * implies that:
 *
 *	k = (Q*g + hx/n)/2
 *
 * This allows us to quickly eliminate factor values that are divisible
 * by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 or 17.	 (well <= p value found below)
 *
 * The following loop shows how test_factor is advanced to higher test
 * values using hset[].	 Here, hcount is the number of elements in hset[].
 * It can be shown that hset[0] == 0.  We add hset[hcount] to the hset[]
 * array for looping control convenience.
 *
 *	(* increase test_factor thru other possible test values *)
 *	test_factor = 0;
 *	hindx = 0;
 *	do {
 *		while (++hindx <= hcount) {
 *			test_factor += hset[hindx];
 *		}
 *		hindx = 0;
 *	} while (test_factor < some_limit);
 *
 * The test, mfactor(67, 1, 10000) took on an 200 Mhz r4k (user CPU seconds):
 *
 *	210.83	(prior to use of hset[])
 *	 78.35	(hset[] for p_elim = 7)
 *	 73.87	(hset[] for p_elim = 11)
 *	 73.92	(hset[] for p_elim = 13)
 *	234.16	(hset[] for p_elim = 17)
 *	p_elim == 19 requires over 190 Megs of memory
 *
 * Over a long period of time, the call to load_hset() becomes insignificant.
 * If we look at the user CPU seconds from the first 10000 cycle to the
 * end of the test we find:
 *
 *	205.00	(prior to use of hset[])
 *	 75.89	(hset[] for p_elim = 7)
 *	 73.74	(hset[] for p_elim = 11)
 *	 70.61	(hset[] for p_elim = 13)
 *	 57.78	(hset[] for p_elim = 17)
 *	 p_elim == 19 rejected because of memory size
 *
 * The p_elim == 17 overhead takes ~3 minutes on an 200 Mhz r4k CPU and
 * requires about ~13 Megs of memory.  The p_elim == 13 overhead
 * takes about 3 seconds and requires ~1.5 Megs of memory.
 *
 * The value p_elim == 17 is best for long factorizations.  It is the
 * fastest even thought the initial startup overhead is larger than
 * for p_elim == 13.
 *
 * NOTE: The values above are prior to optimizations where hset[] was
 *	 multiplied by n plus other optimizations.  Thus, the CPU
 *	 times you may get will not likely match the above values.

/*
 * mfactor - find a factor of a Mersenne Number
 *
 * Mersenne numbers are numbers of the form:
 *
 *	2^n-1	for integer n > 0
 *
 * We know that factors of a Mersenne number are of the form:
 *
 *	2*k*n+1	  and	+/- 1 mod 8
 *
 * We make use of the hset[] difference array to eliminate factor
 * candidates that would otherwise be divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7 ... p_elim.
 *
 * given:
 *	n		attempt to factor M(n) = 2^n-1
 *	start_k		the value k in 2*k*n+1 to start the search (def: 1)
 *	rept_loop	loop cycle reporting (def: 10000)
 *	p_elim		largest prime to eliminate from test factors (def: 17)
 *
 * returns:
 *	factor of (2^n)-1
 *
 * NOTE: The p_elim argument is optional and defaults to 17.  A p_elim value
 *	 of 17 is faster than 13 for even medium length runs.  However 13
 *	 uses less memory and has a shorter startup time.
