Rsa Factorization

"""
An RSA prime factor algorithm.

The program can efficiently factor RSA prime number given the private key d and
public key e.

large number can take minutes to factor, therefore are not included in doctest.

    We call N the RSA modulus, e the encryption exponent, and d the decryption exponent.

About us

We are a group of programmers helping each other build new things, whether it be writing complex encryption programs, or simple ciphers. Our goal is to work together to document and model beautiful, helpful and interesting algorithms using code. We are an open-source community - anyone can contribute. We check each other's work, communicate and collaborate to solve problems. We strive to be welcoming, respectful, yet make sure that our code follows the latest programming guidelines.
