PrimeGrid Sophie Germain Search
The Sophie Germain Search is a PrimeGrid sub-project searching for Sophie Germain and Twin prime pairs. It was launched in 2009 as a successor to the Twin Prime Search sub-project.
Contents
Search range
The current iteration of the project is searching for prime numbers of the form k×21290000-1, for k ≤ 10 trillion. Sophie Germain pairs take the form k×21290001-1, and Twin pairs take the form k×21290000+1.
As of June 2020, the search is currently at k = 5.4 trillion. Live status
The first version of the project searched for prime numbers k×2n-1 for 666,666 ≤ n ≤ 666,691 with varying ranges of k values up to 38.5 trillion.
Found primes
As of June 2020 the project has found over 8200 primes, with 2 Sophie Germain pairs and 2 Twin pairs.
