Has typos.

Says that 199^883467 is difficult to factorise. Well, all 883467 factors are shown already.

I wish i could type out that number without losing my sanity.
It's not so bad, only 2030961 digits. The first few are:

67741756636479844500840...

and the last few are:

...12967674786324684253399

That'd have roughly as many characters as a 338,000 word book... longer than The Brothers Karamazov (365,000) but shorter than Gone With The Wind (418,000).

Just over half the length of A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, and probably just as entertaining. Heyooo!
