In this article we show that the Czech mathematician Vaclav Simerka
discovered the factorization of (10^17-1)/9 using a method based on the class
group of binary quadratic forms more than 120 years before Shanks and Schnorr
developed similar algorithms. Simerka also gave the first examples of what
later became known as Carmichael numbers.
