RPS Megabit Drive 1

This article is only a stub. You can help PrimeWiki by expanding it.

Purpose

The goal of this drive is to search for primes of the form k•2ⁿ-1 for k ≤ 300 and n > 1000000.

k-values

2010-10-24: k = 51, 57, 61, 65, 69, 87 for n > 1,000,000

2011-01-26: adding k = 47, 53 for n > 1,000,000

2014-08-12: removing k = 51, 69 for n > 2,500,000

2014-08-12: adding k = 35 for n > 2,520,000, k = 37 for n > 2,500,000 only n != 1 mod 10, k = 103 for n ≥ 2,550,223, and k = 111 for n ≥ 2,601,487

currently k = 35, 37, 47, 53, 57, 61, 65, 87, 103, 111

• To identify a post of the MersennForum thread the date and post number are given.
• If a post number is given with '1' there's no information from the thread, so the first post is used instead.
