We introduce and study several conditions related to the factorization problem of composite numbers. For this purpose, we employ cyclotomic polynomials, Sylvester resultants, and the Fermat equation. We show that the existence of a specific solution to the Fermat type equation in positive characteristic $p$ implies polynomial-time factorization of a composite natural number that is a multiple of $p$. We also show that such solutions do not exist for many semi-prime integers.
