3 and 5 are prime, but being 1 digit isn't part of it. 6 is a 1 digit composite number (divisable by 3 and 2), but 11 is a 2 digit number which can't be factored, hence prime. Prime Grid would be looking for some very large prime numbers.

You didn't understand what I said. First I was giving a easy example to be understood and then I said breaking a composite integer into prime factors, 11 is already a prime factor that is actually proven as a prime. Prime factor is difference than only saying prime.

Take a look at the latest result: 3,637- factors

The composite cofactor of 3,637- was the product of 85-digit and 127-digit prime numbers:

85-digit prime factor:
24362371790048691036429470508868735523952360071637 25889114267732351631395223998169289

127-digit prime factor:

Thanks go to M. Vang for performing the postprocessing. The factors have been reported to the Cunningham project and have been recorded on Page 125.
