Volunteer to test M44 candidate

Prime95 · 2006-02-10, 01:53

I've received an email claiming to have found the 44th Mersenne and would like a volunteer to test this claim using prime95. A reasonably fast P4 is required. I'll PM the exponent to the first person that replies.

I'll take it. [grin] I'm running 3.2 GHz

I could do some trial factoring on 2^p+1/3, if you want?

No need. Wait until we find out if this really is a Mersenne prime.

I hope this isn't a hoax...

Is it more or less than 10 million digits?

I'll say this much. It's smaller than I'd expect M44 to be, but that's all I'll say, unless George wants to divulge more.

Which program did he or she use?

Was that number originally a manual assignment?

That means, it is smaller than 45219803, which was your guess here?
