hey all. i am very excited about finding a new math discovery.
i wanted to find a factor of fermat's number 20. - F20
so.. using Proth.. i set it up with
Start: For n=1048576 to 1048576, For k=2 to 2 step 2, GFN.
1048579 being 2^20.
after 3 days of processing on my Intel 300 Mhz..
it came out with this result in the log file..
1*2^1048576 + 1 is composite. (a = 3)
what is the relevance of a?
and HOW can i use my computer to find a factor of F20?
thank you.
-paul
