If there's another question like this consisting mostly of an RSA modulus to factor, I'm thinking of closing it under the rule "Requests for analyzing ciphertext (..) are off-topic", or similar. | |

What was the purpose of the professor's example? If they wanted to make everybody understand that factoring is hard, maybe they have succeeded, because you have not factored it yet, have you? From the context, I suppose the intention was not to test factoring software written by yourself? So, factoring such a number is possible, but it requires software that uses smart enough techniques, and it requires computational power. You can download Yafu for example; say factor(1660...37) to it, and wait. Then you will see the result eventually. Deadline?
