All mersenne primes greater than 3 will end with either 1 or 7.
Q1. Is the above statement true? Q2. Why is it so? |

Q1. Trivially, yes.
Q2. Because for any odd n, 2^n = 2 or 8 (mod 10): 2^1 = 2 (mod 10) 2^3 = 4*(previous value) = 8 (mod 10) 2^5 = 4*(previous value) = 2 (mod 10) 2^7 = 4*(previous value) = 8 (mod 10) 2^9 = 4*(previous value) = 2 (mod 10), etc, 2 and 8 will alternate. Now, with the exception of 3 (which is 22-1), all other Mersenne primes are 2odd n -1. Last fiddled with by Batalov on 2013-03-27 at 19:35 |

and then stuff matters, every prime factor for the Mersenne number with an odd exponent into this, i.e. a number of the form 22x-1-1, x ≥ 2, 2x - 1 ≥ 3, it is being of the form congruent to 1 or 7 (mod 8)? In addition to it, each prime factor for the part afterwards after algebraic factors being removed for the Mersenne number 2x-1, are always being of the form 2kx+1, i.e. it is being congruent to 1 (mod 2x). and then certainly that always that and then therefore, so, thus, that way, it is being true enough statement for the Cunningham numbers bx±1, as well as, as follows as Why so, thus? and then also too |
