M1277 — any nontrivial factor (open)
Statement. Find any nontrivial divisor of M_{1277} = 2^{1277} - 1 (385 digits). No
factor is known; it is the smallest Mersenne number with prime exponent whose
factorization is fully open.

Solution format: one positive integer d.
Accepted iff 1 < d < N and d divides N. Primality of d is not required.
