I have now completed Sierp base 3 k=10M-30M to n=25K. k's remaining are shown on the reservations pages.

10 minutes attempt for Sierp Base 3 k=2930054:

2930054*3^25270+1 is prime!

Nice work Karsten! Now the lowest Sierp base 3 k's without a prime are k=2949008 and 2980832.

If we find primes for those, we'll have primes for all k's < 3M !!

[quote=michaf;135367]Results from rechecking:

the following k's can be removed, as they are already tested as their reduced forms: (div 3^2)
[code]
35026848 0 11675616 0 3891872 Is already being tested - remove from list
35445726 0 11815242 0 3938414 Is already being tested - remove from list
38460564 0 12820188 0 4273396 Is already being tested - remove from list
41941962 0 13980654 0 4660218 Is already being tested - remove from list
[/code]

The following can all be divided by 3^3, but are all smaller than the 2930054 lower limit of the smallest under test, so all need to be tested still:

31881438 0 10627146 0 3542382 0 1180794
32450112 0 10816704 0 3605568 0 1201856

(range 50-100M is now at 80M (to 10k))[/quote]


OK, I've now had time to do a detailed double-check on all of your k's remaining for k=30M-50M. In addition to the 5 k's that I found that can be eliminated from the last post, here is one more k-value that can be eliminated:

k=33040752 reduces to k=11013584, which has a prime at n=100378.

This leaves 87 - 5 - 1 = 81 k's remaining for k=30M-50M to n=25K. These will shortly be reflected as remaining on the reservations page for this k-range.


Gary

Sierp base 3 is officially completed and checked to k=50M and n=25K. There are 209 k's remaining as shown on the base 3 reservations page.

There are 308 k's remaining if you include the k=100M-120M range searched by KEP.

Gary[/QUOTE]

Just for the heck of it I've sieved 2949008 until n = 100,000. My testing has reached 70,000 but no prime so far.

Continuing, Willem.

Oh darn :)

I'll have to scratch my head on this... I think I understand now, but at 2:00 am I'm not too sure anymore (just got home from holidays)

Update on 50-100M, all is tested upto 10k now, and some 808 are remaining.
I've started an overnight sieve, and will then go for a one-day prp-ing, and restart sieving if it wasn't done far enough. (Hoping to find enough primes in that one day of course...)

Sierp Base 3:
2980832*3^38101+1 is prime.

so only one k < 3M !

I reached 100,000 without a prime for this k. I am not continuing. I have too many choices as it is...

Willem.

just sieving/llring all remaining k's <10M (not k=2949008) upto n=100k.

current n is 32k and PRP's found so far:
3159992 27396
3234118 31235
7969792 25529

45200 candidates left.

[QUOTE=michaf;135021]I'm reserving 50-100M upto 25k, so no further gaps will be present[/QUOTE]

Now at 15k, 523 k's remaining
