Repunit factorization

Here is a link to Yousuke Koide's page on repunit factorization(s). Repunits are numbers specifically whose decimal representation consists of all 1's.

It would appear that the lowest repunit whose prime factorization is yet unknown, is R239 (see also Torbjorn Granlund's page at Swox).
