Aqui está uma recursão simples que observa as regras que conhecemos: (1) os bits menos significativos de X e Y são definidos, pois apenas multiplicandos ímpares produzem um múltiplo ímpar; (2) se definirmos X para ter o bit mais alto de B, Y não poderá ser maior que sqrt (A); e (3) definir bits em X ou Y de acordo com o bit atual em B.
O código Python a seguir resultou em menos de 300 iterações para todos, exceto um dos pares aleatórios que escolhi do código de exemplo de Matt Timmermans . Mas o primeiro fez 231.199 iterações :)
