Can factorization of very large numbers be aided by associating them with a series (describe...

of quadratic polynomials associated with any number one is trying to factor - an example of the technique follows - and I want to find out if this is a technique with promise, one that would help make factorization … out, but I suspect might be easy, is for which values of B the determinant becomes a perfect square, thus causing the quadratic formula to produce integer roots and lead us to the answer we want - the factorization
