Abstract(in English) It is important to analyze the hardness of prime factorization which the security of RSA cryptosystems is based on. There are some methods for solving prime factorization such as the p method, the p-1 method, the elliptic curve method, the quadratic sieve, and the number field method. The number field sieve is the current fastest algorithm for solving prime factorization, and is a semi-exponential time algorithm whose cost is O(exp((64/9)^<1/3>) (ln n)^<1/3> (ln ln n)^<2/3>). As sieves for solving discrete logarithm problem have improved, the number field sieve may be improved, however, the author thinks it is impossible that the number field sieve becomes a polynomial time algorithm. This report considers the possibility of further speed-up of prime factorization by constructing a "finding divisor function" F(n,x) whose zeros are divisors of n and by applying a numerical analysis technique to the function.
