Is anything known about the factorization of that coefficient (other than its divisibility by 5 and 9)? Was it chosen as part of some algorithm that singled out relatively likely candidates? Or was it just stumbled on at random from a massive search? Or maybe one of our factoring experts can factor it? (You know who you are.) —Dan
