[QUOTE=science_man_88;186360]also it might tell us which ones have a digit number divisible by 3 if you look though 31 doesn't work for this case ( no surprise for me there) both of the other ones shown that are halfway between the 4 x th odd primes according to wikipedia have digit numbers divisible by 3.[/QUOTE]

Once more, base 10 seems to rule in your world.

and again,what does this tell us?this is just spamming the forum with pointless posts.

It shows the divisibility of 3 of the mersenne primes digit count

and what use is that information?

For one most are, so maybe we can look for prime exponents that will give us digit lengths that divide by 3 which we could look at the exponent figure a pattern for base 10 length then say well is it divisible by 3 if it is then it may actually worth checking for it

so if we know that certain exponent ( like 607) will have digit lengths dividable by 3 then we might find one like it by the first pattern then say the other stuff I said and find them)

yes,but every third number is divisable by three,and the fact that they arent all evenly divisable by 3 means that this information is useless.

log2(3) = 1.584962500721156............................

so if the prime exponent is not modulo 0 by this maybe it's 2^p-1 digit length is not divisible by 3 and hence is less likely to be a mersenne prime

eg. 19/ log2(3) gives just under 12 ( probably because the value I use was rounded) so 2^19-1 is likely to be a mersenne prime if I'm not mistaken and this example is.

another one that if you round up will work is the 47th one listed above
