Given MPFNs A,B,C, it may be possible to form a new MPFN D by noting the prime powers that change in going from the factorization of A to the factorization of B, and substituting these changes in the factorization of C. In order to produce a MPFN, the following conditions must hold: every prime power in A which does not exactly divide B must exactly divide C, every prime in B that does not divide A must not divide C, and, if index(A) != index(B), then index(C)*(index(B)/index(A)) must be an integer. If these conditions hold, D = C*(B/A) and index(D) = index(C)*(index(B)/index(A)). A common substitution in small MPFNs involves replacing 19^2 127 by 19^4 151 911; the index is unchanged.
