We factored numbers with more than 10¹⁰⁰⁰ decimal digits, and the capital cost was less than $1,000.

There is not enough computing power in the entire world to even store a number with 10¹⁰⁰⁰ digits, let alone even think about beginning to attempt to factorize it.

Here's a number with more than 10¹⁰⁰⁰ decimal digits:

10^{10¹⁰⁰⁰}

And here's it's factorization:

2^{10¹⁰⁰⁰} * 5^{10¹⁰⁰⁰}
