Abstract
A new deterministic algorithm for finding square divisors, and finding -power divisors in general, is presented. This algorithm is based on Lehman's method for integer factorization and is straightforward to implement. While the theoretical complexity of the new algorithm is far from best known, the algorithm becomes especially effective if even a loose bound on a square divisor is known. Additionally, we answer a question by D. Harvey and M. Hittmeir on whether their recent deterministic algorithm for integer factorization can be adapted to finding -power divisors.
