Sorry, T-Rex. Turns out that in the universe where there are no prime numbers, trap door functions don’t actually do anything. I’m almost certain of it.
if you could find a way to factor numbers quickly, you would undermine tons of cryptographic systems overnight. crazy! there is a way to do this using quantum computers, but luckily only really tiny quantum computers exist. one DID recently factor the number 15 into 3 and 5, though!
