Is anyone interested in start a long-term factoring project for R (109297)-1=10*R(109296)? As we can see,109296=2^4*3^3*11*23 is very smooth and N-1 will have...
A project to find 33.4% of the factors of R(109297)-1 is quite enticing until you examine the details. There are indeed many algebraic factors and I have...
Hi, Can someone verify if ((2^41539)*(2^41539+1396)+1) is prime? I used pfgw to find it. Also, what is the estimated time required to prove it? Bill...

We need a bit less than 4100 digits. There are 13 composites ranging from C320 to C6520, so with luck this is doable. (There is actually one more, but it's...
