 2004-06-08, 01:42 #12 dave_0273     Oct 2003 Australia, Brisbane 1110101102 Posts The way mersenne-aries works is I get hrf3.txt (a list of exponents that have at least one LL test but not a matching LL test) and compare it to pminus1.txt (which shows the amount of p-1 factoring that has been done on an exponent). Any exponent that appears in hrf3 but not in pminus1 is a candidate for mersenne-aries. However, mersenne-aries only works on certain ranges. We only work on ranges that are not yet on primenet. For example, double checks up to 12.5M are all on primenet, so we wouldn't work on any exponent less than 12.5M. There are however people who use the semi-automated way of p-1 testing that will pick up any exponents that we weren't able to complete before it goes to primenet. The way the semi-automated way works is that you reserve a large number of double checks, any that finish with ,1 (for example DoubleCheck=12000000,64,1) are unreserved again straight away as these have already been p-1 tested. The user would have also set up sequentialworktodo=0 which means that all the p-1 tests are done before any of of the LL tests are done. When all the p-1 tests are done, and prime95 is about to start on the first doublecheck, all the exponents are unreserved. The only thing wrong with the semi-automated method is that it is hard to get enough work to do. Thats why I choose to do it manually and I also post ranges for other people to do if they are interested in doing p-1 tests.

This is so true for the semi-automated method. I had to get about 1000 exponents before I got to a point where I was getting a lot of exponents that had one LL-test but had no P-1 done. This is why when I finally started getting these I just reserved a lot of them (525). I'll finish in about a month, then I'll have to do it all over again. Getting these from the forum is definitely easier.

I just found a 43-digit factor that beats your 43-digit ones (but not your 45-digit one, naturally.)

That factor should be 3rd overall, if I'm not mistaken?

Sorry, It's a composite:

PRIME FACTOR 471463684608646013689

 2004-09-25, 12:23 #16 dave_0273     Oct 2003 Australia, Brisbane 2·5·47 Posts My site doesn't care if it is composite or not. I think that all the biggest factors on my website are composite. I know that all of mine are.
 2004-09-25, 12:34 #17 dave_0273     Oct 2003 Australia, Brisbane 2·5·47 Posts I just checked the biggest 10 factors found on my website (I don't have the time right now to do all 20) and found that the first 6 were composite and 7-10 are prime.

31 digits:

Code:
[Fri May 23 14:34:48 2003]
P-1 found a factor in stage #2, B1=50000, B2=887500.
UID: daran/1, M8680409 has a factor: 4516743717642484934632779029209
However as George pointed out, there were several 35-or-more digit factors even back in 2003. Now there are over 100 of this size or greater listed, though not all will have been found using Prime95 or using the P-1 method.

~103.54 bits, and it's prime too
Well done.

I've had a couple of 140+ bit composite factors, which are nice to find, but the underlying primes aren't so impressive. This is my second 100+ bit prime factor.

They're still pretty meager compared to these monsters.

I'm disappointed that my p50 by P-1 has dropped off that list.

However, I'm trying again on generalized Cullen and Woodall numbers and have managed a p46 so far this run. Still almost 10,000 composites to go before the entire collection is swept to B1=1e9 so there's plenty of opportunities yet.
