My first exponent, 34642837, has just come back - not prime (boo hoo!). A factor, 3744250227067525727981257, lying between 2^81 and 2^82, was found, in the p-1 testing phase.
Well, a factor is a very good result. The best way of eliminating a candidate, making two expensive LL tests no longer necessary. Congratulations.
Question - how far up does the p-1 testing go please?
That depends on the size of your RAM.
Also, my new exponent is 34674049 - am I right is assuming that, when the Luacs-Lehmer testing starts, does it just chug through until it reaches the 34674049th number in the sequence - and then give a yes or no?
Correct. YotN, Henk. _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
