With NFS@Home you can participate in state-of-the-art factorizations simply by downloading and running a free program on your computer. The numbers what we are factoring are chosen from the Cunningham project. Started in 1925, it is one of the oldest continuously ongoing projects in computational number theory.

Number theorists can mine the data for interesting patterns to help them formulate conjectures about number fields. Ultimately, this research will lead to a deeper understanding of the properties of numbers, the basic building blocks of all mathematics. NumberFields@home is based at the school of mathematics at Arizona State University.
