[QUOTE=VBCurtis;281311]My wishes to be like Peter are answered:
13*2^2606075-1 is prime! 784508 digits.

This is the first prime for k=13 since 233207, the longest dry spell of any k<300. I have searched since n= 1M on this k.

Congratulations on the prime and on persevering for so long.

Nice one Curtis! Obviously worth the wait.

Hi Curtis,

Congrats on that great prime! :smile:

The RPS score is now over 50.15 :cool:

Thanks, guys. An aftershock, or perhaps an encore:
201*2^1249030-1 (375998 digits)

Both primes were found today- happened to be the two machines I check daily. When it rains..

11th drive:
2253*2^812755-1 (244667 digits)

I'm missing some notes about k=271, 279 and 285 (and perhaps others).

See found primes [url=http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=103471]here[/url], [url=http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=103470]here[/url] and [url=http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=103498]here[/url].

Beyond is working on these three, and other available Ks in the
200 < k < 300 range.
And he just found 3 primes! :smile:
I'll post the full list shortly.
