    Challenges→FACTORIZATION is in NP ∩ coNP.

    Verifying that no prime factor smaller than m exists requires either exhaustive search or trust in the completeness of the presented factorization, reintroducing the original computational difficulty in disguised form.

    Key Terms

    Completeness (in logic/mathematics)(mathematical/logical property discussed in the statement)
    The quality of being thorough and having nothing left out—in this case, whether a list of factors actually includes all the factors that exist.
    Computational difficulty(the main problem being discussed in the statement)
    How hard or time-consuming it is for a computer to solve a problem, especially when the problem requires many steps or calculations.
    Exhaustive search(computational method referenced in the statement)
    Checking every single possible option or answer one by one until you find what you're looking for, rather than using a shortcut.
    FACTORIZATION(Used as an example of a problem in NP ∩ coNP not currently known to be in P.)
    The computational problem: given ⟨n,m⟩, does n have a factor d with 1 < d ≤ m?

    Prime factor(mathematical concept used in the statement)
    A prime number that divides evenly into another number with no remainder. For example, 2 and 3 are prime factors of 6.
