The Lewis Sieve: Factor any number easily with geometry
This took a couple of tries to make a decent video... I finally had to walk AI through all the steps for 143 to get it to understand it enough to make this video and the podcast. I don't get what's so hard to understand... double and divide by 2 as you slide down till your factor pops out... simple... but well... Muggles.
******Not a good one!!!!

So that link is what happens when you don't understand this... the method they describe in the video and podcast don't work at all. You have to double the number. Why? a*b=c... yes? ok... so 2(a*b)=2c? Yes? Yes... Ok... so hold on to your butts.... that means 2a * b or a *2b = 2c. Whether it is 2b or not 2b, you can find it by dividing by 2 trivially. So... see how Math is an art? I just quoted Hamlet... LOL.
Sorry about your RSA encryption... I swear I gave you all a heads up. This absolutely will break RSA trivially. Not this... but this math... it's stupid easy... once you understand a little quantum mechanics that is.
