<<Now we can filter out multiples of small primes>>
I'm assuming that we don't need to divide by factors divisible by 3 or 5, 
etc, because a Mersenne number cannot be divisible by 3 or 5 because they 
don't have the structure 2kp+1 themselves? (Excluding the REALLY low Mersenne 
numbers). Ideally, we'd like to only test factors that are prime 
themselves.... Am I right?
S.T.L.
