Popis: We conjecture new elementary formulas for computing the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers, alongside an elementary formula for extracting the prime factors of semiprimes. These formulas are of fixed-length and require only the basic arithmetic operations of: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division with remainder, and exponentiation. Our GCD formulas result from simplifying a formula of Mazzanti and are derived using Kronecker substitution techniques from our earlier research. By applying these GCD formulas together with our recent discovery of an arithmetic expression for $\sqrt{n}$, we are able to derive explicit elementary formulas for the prime factors of a semiprime $n=p q$.
Comment: Version 1 of this preprint was published to the Cryptology ePrint Archive. Updates in this version include: Restating the polynomial GCD formula as a conjecture, due to an issue in the previous proof. Addition of lemmas for square root formula
