[QUOTE=GP2;607086]M[M]245107[/M] is a probable semi-prime.

Factor found by Sid & Andy. Test by user SRJ2877.[/QUOTE]
Does the PRP-co-factor need to be run by other users as well or not to confirm? If yes, how long will it take? Is there perhaps an upper limit on the exponent size which the alternative program can reach up to?

[QUOTE=paulunderwood;606324]Congrats to Ryan for proving the cofactor of M78737 using FastECPP.[/QUOTE]
Not sure whether FastECPP runs like LL or not.

There were 2 users on M[M]10443557[/M]

I thought you were Wayne. Is Sid & Andy or SRJ2877 your testing account or are they your followers?

[QUOTE=axn;607101]Congrats @petrw1. I believe this is the first "confirmed kill" for the "low" project[/QUOTE]
Does the project manager get the credit if 1 of the follower users made the discovery?

"Sid & Andy" is petrw1's GIMPS username

Yes, but it is not necessary to re-run the whole test as we can also generate PRP proofs for cofactors. Verifying a proof is much faster.

I have no idea what you mean by "runs like". But... no.

FastECPP is a completely different algorithm and proof method. It can be distributed among many machines using MPI. The algorithm itself has nothing to do with LL testing.

M[M]12,720,787[/M] has been reported fully factored. The PRP test was done by user Funky Waddle.

This would be a new record, eclipsing M[M]10,443,557[/M] from July 2020.

This result doesn't appear to have been reported to [URL="http://www.primenumbers.net/prptop/prptop.php"]http://www.primenumbers.net/prptop/prptop.php[/URL]. Has anyone tried to submit this PRP?

Congrats to Serge for proving with CM (ECPP) the [URL="https://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=134494"]cofactor of M87691[/URL]. :tu:

I have just made a submission to The Prime Pages and uploaded the certificate do factorDB for the [URL="https://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=134576"]M174533 cofactor[/URL]. :flex:

The certificate has been verified by factorDB. Now [url]https://www.mersenne.ca/prp.php[/url] needs to be updated.
