Talk:Generalized Fermat number 5 2 4

Karsten, please check to see if I did this one correctly. I would like to add a few more GFNs but will wait for you to check this one. It would not let me enter the 10-digit cofactor in GF divisor form, i.e. 49158491*2^5+1. Instead I was forced to enter the full cofactor.

I could not understand why it would not allow this. I confirmed that 49158491*2^5+1 is a Factor of xGF(4,5,2) both in the FactorDB and with PFGW.

Edit: I needed to add 49158491,5 as a GF Divisor before adding 5,2,4 as a GFn. All looks good to me now. Please verify if everything looks OK.

Adding only a number (like here only '1573071713') should work correctly: the factor is listed at the bottom.

Adding as a new GFN factor for example as '1573071713,2' will only show the red link to the Proth prime page, the red link to the GFN factor page and the k-value of this entry, which is false here.

This template looks for the given GFN factor page and reads the prime factor from it.

How to:

add the new GFN here, do not save, only "Show preview"

call the new GFN factor link in a new page, fill in the parameters (k- & n-value given in the page title), save if everything is ok

return to this page, again "Show preview", the factor should be shown correctly now

save after checked ok
