Well, I said that this is an approximation. Before these calculations, I had no idea of how many PRPs we would find.

[QUOTE=Gordon;379856]So how many Mersenne Primes was that you found again ???

Please reply with the prime exponent you found and we'll throw you a :party:[/QUOTE]
Well, this is not correct. In order to find these Mersenne primes, you need several people: the inventor of the algorithm, one or more persons that polish it making more amenable to computers, the one who code it in an optimized way, and the person who runs the computer that finally finds the results.

So you are just one little line in the "cast of characters" (that spans several screens) of the discovery of M2976221.

Silverman is in the second category of people mentioned above, but I think he is not related to anything related to Mersenne number primality.

Wrong again. Check with David Slowinski.

A long time prior to GIMPS (early 80's), I provided David with a
moderately large list of exponents that did not need to be factored because I
had found small divisors.

[QUOTE=axn;379483]I don't see how the last 64 bits help.

Lets say F divides Mp. By Fermat, 3^(Mp/F) = 3 (mod (Mp/F)). Raising both sides to F, we get 3^Mp = 3^F (mod Mp/F). Now if we have the full residue 3^Mp (mod Mp), we can easily calculate 3^Mp (mod Mp/F). But last 64-bits? Are you saying 3^Mp = 3^F (mod Mp/F) ==> 3^Mp = 3^F (mod Mp). I just tried it with M2311 (77567729423209*4514379640917651135021865565129IPRP-652). LHS holds, but RHS doesn't.[/QUOTE]
I now had some spare time to check if the low bits help and indeed they don't* and I didn't find a trick to make them useful (I was thinking that we could bit-rotate the residue, but we can only do that mod M[SUB]p[/SUB], not mod M[SUB]p[/SUB]/F).

The top 512bits, as P.L.M. wrote, work, but one needs a modification to the program, to save those 512-bit residues in a file and later fetch and use them. EWMayer wrote [URL="http://mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=342776&postcount=15"]some code like that[/URL]. If I were to implement this, I could write a patch to prime95 (I've written and used small other ad hoc hacks; it is doable).

____
*I [STRIKE]remembered[/STRIKE] was misled into thinking about this possibility by my anecdotal experience with tiny factors, like 5 for some [TEX]2^p \pm 2^{{p+1}\over{2}}+1[/TEX] and 7 for some [TEX]3^p \pm 3^{{p+1}\over{2}}+1[/TEX]. They show up as prpbase^4 and prpbase^6 in the RES64, but this is a pure coincidence: e.g.
[FONT="Fixedsys"]2^1223+2^612+1 is composite: RES64: [0000000000000051] (0.0041s+0.0008s)[/FONT] (where 51[SUB]16[/SUB] = 81 = 3^4)
They are, of course, special for that form.
This small curio does not extend itself to even slightly larger factors, let alone 80-90+ bit factors that are relevant for the OP PRP project.

The problem in your reasoning is that the 40-digit level is only complete in the cases that no factors were found. According to [URL="http://www.mersenne.org/report_ecm/default.php?txt=0&ecm_lo=10000&ecm_hi=20000&ecmnof_lo=10000&ecmnof_hi=20000"]the official report[/URL], the 35-digit level is complete up to 11.5K, and the 30-digit level is (almost) complete up to 16K. The other numbers are in the range 25 to 30 digits. So I think the estimate for 10K to 20K is OK for me. Notice that completing the n-digit level means that about 30% of the prime factors with that number of digits were not found because of the statistical nature of ECM.

In the range 20K to 50K only the 25-digit level was completed according to [URL="http://www.mersenne.org/report_ecm/default.php?txt=0&ecm_lo=20000&ecm_hi=50000&ecmnof_lo=20000&ecmnof_hi=50000"]this report[/URL].

But by your reasoning anything that adds nothing to the discussion must be considered less than useful, so you fail again.

You see when you decide to set yourself up as the arbiter of what does and doesn't add value, don't be surprised that when you act inconsistently based on your prejudices that the thread holding up the Sword of Damocles is cut.

Or you could simply in future decide not to act like the thinkpol.

You are kidding yourself if you think that moderation is a police work. It is mostly waste disposal. If you always wanted to apply but were too shy to ask about it, don't be, write to Mike. Waste has to be disposed of. Spam and lunacy, too. Nonsense can stay.

The sewer thread for the waste was not always called what it is called now. It used to bear names of those prolific individuals who made most contributions. Its current name is a bit too kind (you can thank Mike). It is for posts with negative usefulness, if you insist on a better definition. "Less than useful" - not quite the same, I agree.

The next one we don't need to factor anymore :max:.
If James is reading here: Is it possible to mark those prp-factors which are already proven as primes on the prp-page? That M11=23*prp2 looks somehow .... strange ^^
And on the page for the smoothest P-1-factors the case k=1 should be ignored. k=1 happens only iff the exponent of the M-number is a Sophie-Germaine-prime congruent 3 mod 4, thus this column is the same as a list of the SG-primes = 3 mod 4.

It is not up for PRP testing.

Of course, everyone can run yet another PRP test on a known [I]prime[/I], but it doesn't make it a meaningful exercise.

It is wasteful for those who are unfamiliar with the Cunningham project to go below "[URL="http://homes.cerias.purdue.edu/~ssw/cun/"]min_exponent=1300[/URL]" (or, with its extensions, below 2400).
Dario is correct that the PRP-5701 is trivially proven prime. For comparison, Wu has just [URL="http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=118512"]recently proven[/URL] a Wagstaff prime as large as 25,000 decimal digits. An ECPP proof for any number up to, say, 10000 decimal digits is a rather trivial exercise in 2014.

My apologies.

I guess (maybe I should not guess:smile:) that there is more to than just putting a PRP line from that page in P95 and running it, and then getting an answer yes it is PRP or not, and then telling someone about it. My favorite RDS will probably agree :grin:

I have already submitted the PRP to the Top list after passing b=5,7 tests, but I will run this as well.

Actually the chances are not so remote. It is true that for a number of that size to be strong pseudoprime to some bases,[URL="http://primes.utm.edu/notes/prp_prob.html"] the chances are extraordinarily low,[/URL] even lower than Retina said, but Mersenne factors don't behave like general numbers of their sizes. It is quite common for a composite mersenne factor to be 2-PSP, for example all 3 composite combinations of 233, 1103 and 2089 (prime factors of M29) are pseudoprimes base 2. This seems to happen more often for p=1 (mod 4), but it happens often enough for p=3 (mod 4), for example 514447 is a 2-PSP (is the product of 359 and 1433, prime factors of M179). Interesting enough, you can find small multiple-base-PSP very easy for small composite factors of mersenne numbers, for example 10974881 is both 2-PRP and 3-PRP, but it not a prime (it is a PSP product of 1913 and 5737, prime factors of M239).

And so on. There can be easily found small mersenne factors which are PRP to many bases, but still composite. So, there IS a remote chance that those big PRPs are still PSP. I guess we will not know very soon.

Anyhow, the result is nice, and worth of congratulations.

Base 2 should not be used for Mersenne cofactors. They [B]all[/B] pass it.

Let p be a prime and f = 2[SUP]s[/SUP]kp+1 be a composite factor of 2^p-1 (where k is odd).

We know that 2^p == 1 (mod f). Raising both sides by k, we get

2^(pk) == 1 (mod f)
i.e. 2^((f-1)/2[SUP]s[/SUP]) == 1 (mod f)

IOW, f passes Base-2 strong PRP test.

Running N-1 test using base 5
Running N+1 test using discriminant 13, base 1+sqrt(13)
(2^488441-1)/(61543567*30051203516986199) is Fermat and Lucas PRP! (2068.5123s+0.0169s)
[/CODE]

I ran my own algorithm written in GMP:

[CODE]Likely prime with a=0

real 86m52.781s
user 84m37.781s
sys 1m32.782s
[/CODE]

Which means jacobiSymbol(-1,n)==-1 and (x+2)^(n+1)==5 (mod n, x^2+1).

This implies a 5-PRP test and the test: x^(n+1)==1 (mod n, x^2-(6/5)*x+1) :smile:

Excellent findings!!! It is not clear to me why the report at [url]http://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/?exp_lo=35339&exp_hi=&full=1[/url] does not show the finder of the 28-digit prime factor.

I tried different options for submitting a factor, and all of them don't list the finder (me :-)
I am now simply submitting a single line

into manual results form - either on mersenne.ca or mersenne.org (while logged in!).

I tried pasting the whole ECM output - the result is the same (or worse - not parsed out).

It doesn't matter to me. It is a valid contender for the [URL="http://primes.utm.edu/top20/page.php?id=49"]Mersenne cofactor[/URL] top20; this does matter. The cofactor is proven before submitting, of course.

I can see in the server logs where you posted that result at 2015-04-21 @ 17:08:12 UTC. George or James can probably give better guidance on why it might accept the factor but not log the result text as submitted. It may have been formed in such a way it couldn't parse all of it, or something... and now that it's a known factor it won't accept any other submissions for it, I think. But never fear, it can be manually done I'm sure.

I think for small and very old factors, this is fine (for them to be anonymous).
In Ye Goode Olde Days, factors were immaterial - only primes were the goal of the project, so they bore no name.
In fact, that's fine even for larger factors (including mine); I mean fine for me.

However, because large crowds started making a sport out of factoring alone and they need some encouragement ("look, here is _[I]my[/I]_ factor"; "hey, my factor is bigger than yours!") and they need their name attached to a factor. Which is a fair price for the amount of (GPU) work (and electricity) they put into this effort. They [I]will[/I] want to find a bigger factor and they [I]will[/I] run their computers some more. If all they will be getting out of the project would be the heated house and a constant hum from the computer, they may fall off pretty fast.

It is a semiprime, whose smaller factor 61157791169561859593299975690769 was discovered October 28.

This is too large for primality certification. All probable-prime cofactors for exponents 63703 and below have been proven prime (274 out of the 306), while all the larger ones are only (highly) probably prime.

The record for ECPP proof is about 31k digits ([url]http://primes.utm.edu/top20/page.php?id=27[/url]). That means the next four PRPs [C](M82939 - PRP-24938, M86137 - PRP-25896, M86371 - PRP-25984, M87691 - PRP-26371)[/C] are "provable" (with some serious time commitment.)

This is within range of primality testing by Primo, if someone wants to tackle it.

Do we want PRP status of co-factors logged in primenet as well?

I'm not sure how mersenne.ca is updated? is it getting info from primenet via scripts running on primenet?

Does mersenne.ca contain other information missing from primenet besides the PRP information? Like extra factors for exponents besides the first one, that are not in primenet?

Primenet does not store any information about which exponents are fully-factored or probably-fully-factored. It should, or at least we should make sure that fully-factored exponents are eliminated from consideration for any further factoring by ECM or other method.

mprime/Prime95 can do PRP testing, but it does not send the results to Primenet, nor can these results be manually submitted to Primenet. These results have to be manually submitted to Mersenne.ca, at [url]http://www.mersenne.ca/index.php?submitresults=1[/url]

Mersenne.ca is the central repository for PRP information on Mersenne exponents, with the full list at [url]http://www.mersenne.ca/prp.php[/url]

All of the PRP exponents up to and including M63,703 have had their cofactors certified prime with Primo or some other means. All the higher exponents are only probably-fully-factored, albeit with very high confidence.

Ranges for PRP testing can be reserved at [url]http://www.mersenne.ca/prp.php?assigned_distribution=1[/url] by clicking on the blue links and then clicking on the button in the resulting page. However, that page does not really document clearly that results need to be submitted at [url]http://www.mersenne.ca/index.php?submitresults=1[/url]

Mersenne.ca pulls updates daily from Primenet. Both of these sites should have identical information about residues and factors, including second and higher factors. A few months ago, a few dozen inconsistencies were discovered between the two databases, but those were reconciled and presumably there is no longer an issue.

One difference is that Mersenne.ca has factors data for exponents up to 4.29 billion, whereas Primenet only stores factors data for exponents up to 1.00 billion.
