This page should be moved to Aurifeuillean factorizations (singular or plural?), named after Léon-François-Antoine Aurifeuille. (A Google search with "Aurifeuillean Factorization" will confirm this.) I do not have the user rights to do the move myself. — Daniel Forgues 02:31, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

- Indeed, \sqrt{ab} should be replaced with \sqrt{2ab} to make it correct. (It's a difference of squares.) Charles R Greathouse IV 06:17, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- That mistake might be my fault, though I wonder why I would miss two instances of the 2. Might be a typo in the book, I will check. Alonso del Arte 04:57, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
