This is the final phase of solving discrete logarithm problems where our goal is to convert a big integer into a product of small prime numbers over our factor base. Information is scant about the process so in the spirit of "name-and-conquer", this phase is also called the Reduction Step, the Descent Phase or Individual Logarithm Collection phase of solving a DLP.
