New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Consider this equation.

Where, n is an integer, Pt is a prime number and Ps is the resulting Prime.

For n=1

Ps=5, 7, 11, 23, 47, 59, 83, 107, 167, 179, 227, 263, 347, 359, 383 for Pt<200 A well known prime (http://oeis.org/A005385)

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Some values for larger n:

For n=100000000

Ps={1000000000000000300000003}, {10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Hi Stangerzv,

For n=156000000000000000000000

At Pt=197, Ps=a 4570-digit prime:

"PrimeQ[ps]" in Mathematica says the number is prime.

Do you have any means of testing this number for primality? I tried the online Elliptic Curve Method at http://www.alpertron.com.ar/ECM.HTM, but gave up because it was taking forever.

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Hi phrontister

I would try to run it on alpertron and maybe after 1-2 days I would get the answer.

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Hi Stangerzv,

Overnight I found a larger prime than in my last post, this time for Pt=199:

For n=2340240773870584944725754

At Pt=199, Ps=a 4919-digit prime:

"PrimeQ[ps]" in Mathematica says the number is prime.

I'll try the alpertron test on it. Pity it's so slow, though...their Java app time doesn't compare at all with Mathematica's PrimeQ function, which only takes 20 seconds to determine that Ps is prime.

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Hi phrontister

There is a primality software (open source) used by gimps to find the largest mersenne's prime. There is USD150,000 award for those who could find the 100,000,000 millions digit prime by electronic frontier. Since you are good at programming why not you try this software. I am looking for to find non-mersenne's prime. So far all biggest primes are mersenne numbers.

You can read about the software here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime95

Hi phrontister

I think mathematica's PrimeQ function is the same with alpertron.

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Yes, I saw that from M's solution but I only posted the largest Pt<200 for n=156000000000000000000000.

Alpertron is still busy thinking (and has been for 35 hours) about the 4919-digit prime from my post #5. If that number is prime it will be quite a while yet for it to find that out, as it's only up to 22% completion.

There is a primality software (open source) used by gimps to find the largest mersenne's prime...Since you are good at programming why not you try this software. I am looking for to find non-mersenne's prime. So far all biggest primes are mersenne numbers.

You can read about the software here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime95

Thanks for that, Stangerzv, but I only have a passing interest in primes. In fact, I don't even know what a Mersenne prime is, and although I've heard the term I've never been curious enough about it to find out what it is.

I've just enjoyed tackling the challenges you've posted because of the puzzle-solving aspect and the practical opportunity they give me to learn some more about Mathematica. smile

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

I would run it on my computer as mine is core i5. I am learning mathematica/matlab/mathcad while looking for a solution too. Regarding Mersenne, he was a bishop not even a mathematician but his work in mathematics was/is known by many people and Mersenne's prime is the most famous and there are group of people working everyday on grid computing to get the latest largest prime (Mersenne's prime 2^p-1). They have more than 700,000 cpus in their grid computing group linking by online network. Finding the largest prime having more than 20 millions digits on my computer maybe would take more than 50-100 years:)

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Thanks for the Mersenne info and link...I'll check it out.

Alpertron is now up to 23% after 37.4 hours. I'll keep it running.

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Hi Stangerzv,

I'll keep it running.

I've changed my mind and have put it out of its misery (it was still showing 23%!!), as I need all my computer's resources for rendering a video.

I'll just accept Mathematica's word for it that the 4919-digit prime from my post #5 is prime, as its assessment of the 4570-digit prime you tested in alpertron is accurate.

Hi phrontister

Don't worry I would get the result by tomorrow, now it is 11% after 2hours 41mins.

Hi;

Yes, that checks out as prime. Congratulations!

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Hi Stangerzv,

Thanks for that...and I got my video done. Nice to have that large prime confirmed by a program that seems to be well regarded in the prime community.

After 22h 1m 53s...

Mathematica took just 21.344 seconds.

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

You could probably beat that too with an AKS algorithm. Using a webpage has got to be slower.

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Hi Bobby,

I did a quick research on AKS but now know less about it than before I started...far too many multi-syllable words for me.

I found this question and two responses, though (for whatever they're worth):-

Question:

A few years ago, it was proven that PRIMES is in P. Are there any algorithms implementing their primality test in Python? I wanted to run some benchmarks with a naive generator and see for myself how fast it is. I'd implement it myself, but I don't understand the paper enough yet to do that.

Response #1:

AKS is of great theoretical importance but its performance is terrible (Miller-Rabin is much better).

Response #2

Quick answer: no, the AKS test is not the fastest way to test primality. There are much much faster primality tests that either assume the (generalized) Riemann hypothesis and/or are randomized. (E.g. Miller-Rabin is fast and simple to implement.) The real breakthrough of the paper was theoretical, proving that a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm exists for testing primality, without assuming the GRH or other unproved conjectures.

The alpertron website says, "Since all calculations are performed in your computer, you can disconnect it from the Internet while the factorization is in progress."

I know you know I haven't got much idea at all about any of this, so please forgive me if I've taken a wrong turn.

Re: New Prime Unless Someone Else found it:)

Hi;

The Miller Rabin is a probabilistic test and as such is not certain. But if I tell you that this number is prime with only a chance of .000000000000000001% of not being a prime, then you can feel very safe about it. They are right about AKS, it takes about an hour to prove the primality of a 1000 digit number on an old desktop.

I know about Dario's site, I use the other features and stick to Miller Rabin for primality. About the GRH? That is very difficult to understand.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
