Gypothesis:

A1*(-B1)+A2*(-B2)...+An*(-Bn) = p*(-q)=p*q*(p-1)
or
A1*(-B1)+A2*(-B2)...+An*(-Bn) = (-p)*q=p*q*(q-1)

Let n = 1, A1 = p, B1 = q. Then
1. A1B1 = pq = N.
2. A1(-B1) = p(-q) =

Ok. Your "gypothesis" holds (sort of). We can factor N when we know its
factors. What a breakthrough. Perhaps Bill Gates will mention it in
"The Road Ahead II".
