Java Program to Implement Fermat Factorization Algorithm

«
»
This is a Java Program to Implement Fermat Factorization Algorithm. Fermat’s factorization method, named after Pierre de Fermat, is based on the representation of an odd integer as the difference of two squares: N = a2 – b2. That difference is algebraically factorable as (a + b)(a – b); if neither factor equals one, it is a proper factorization of N.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement Fermat Factorization Algorithm. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
