... I believe that I have a time-consuming double-loop strategy that would eventually work for n = 3 and for n = 5. Hint: n = 9 seems to be next candidate. ...
... In fact, most n > 5 seem to be possible, with these percentages (I hope!): [ 6, 36.3] [ 7, 30.7] [ 8, 40.0] [ 9, 47.0] [10, 31.5] [11, 38.0] [12, 43.4] ...
... I was extraordinarily lucky to find a gigantic PRP after only about 0.3% of the Poisson mean for the double loop, at 2.8k + 10k digits. Primo is now...
Sorry to have to reply to myself, but I still need an answer on this one. I forgot to mention in my first post that I would like to do this on multiple Linux...
... I now realize that it will not work for k = 33 mod 80. Here is a success with k = 1 mod 80. Let k = 4*x^2 + 1 and p = (x*k^m + x)^2 + k^m. Then p = (x*k^m...
Hello everybody, it seems to me I found a quite large CC3 1st kind. 164210699973*2^(26327-1)-1 164210699973*2^26327-1 164210699973*2^(26327+1)-1 NewPGen,...
... Big congratulations! This also sets an impressive record for 3 simultaneous primes. http://hjem.get2net.dk/jka/math/simultprime.htm is updated. ... Easier:...
Here is a new AP10 record at 260 digits:- (1079682357+109393276*n)*607#+1 is prime for n=0..9 All confirmed prime with PFGW -tc Input/output statistics:- ...

Hi, Here is an efficient algorithm to compute the nth prime or prime(n). Some here may be interested. I first learned of Gram's R(x) = Rg(x) here from...
... I first learned of it from Paulo Ribenboim's delightful book. Like Cino, I was mightily impressed to see how quickly it gives good estimates, using...
You improved the old CC3 record by nearly 2000 digits! That is VERY impressive. Big Congrats! I udated the Cunningham Chain record list in the files section. ...

... Phil A little while back I was looking at deficient primorials with a view to taking Buss's conjecture further. So these a highly deficient factorials. ...
Posted by: "Robert" rw.smith@... robert44444uk ... The B(n) require calculation of nextprime(some deficient factorial), but that's not sieving along...
