Periodicity of the congruence 1666667 mod 666667 - Page 2

It is too difficult to predict which is the next.
Simple questions sometimes require very complex explanations. Even Goldbach conjecture is simple to state, but to proof it it is extremely difficult...so how can I predict which is the next?

Using actual math, even Goldbach has heuristic arguments. You have a form of a number prove something about the form it Also has to take to be prime ...

Huh???

(1,0) means first Mersenne is 1 mod 7, second is 0 mod 7 d is a relationship for the number of digits for the second Mersenne.

similar for the others.

these are the exponents found with Pfwg leading to a prime...look at them...if they are random, I am superman!

We got that, but where did you take "3 mod 6" from, and generally, where did you take "mod 6" from? Shouldn't that be "6 mod 7" and respective "4 mod 7" there??

Fermat and Euler ...

10 is coprime with 7, therefore an extension of Fermat's little theorem says that (10^6)^k for arbitrary natural number k will have remainder 1 on division by 7.

Right. Thanks. Just now I realized you were talking about d being 3 or 4 (mod 6). I was talking about 10^d being 4 or 6 (mod 7), which is the same thing. I have to remember not to read the forum at 1:15 AM, after a company party... I am going to bed now...
