In this article we list several algorithms for the factorization of integers, each of which can be either fast or varying levels of slow depending on their input.

Notice, if the number that you want to factorize is actually a prime number, most of the algorithms will run very slowly. This is especially true for Fermat's factorization algorithm, Pollard's p-1.

Therefore, it makes the most sense to perform a probabilistic (or a fast deterministic) [primality test](primality_tests.md) before trying to factorize the number.
