Hi,
I have a few questions which are not in the FAQ :
- What about testing F24 with Pepin's test ?
(http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/glossary/PepinsTest.html)
Is there a code for this ? On Intel (MS Windows or Linux) ?
Is there some machine running this ?
How long would it take to test the primality of F24 with a PII (for ex.)
? Is there a mailing list about Fermat numbers?
- Long ago ;-) I made some investigations about the period of inverse of
prime numbers (1/p) (Is this good English ?).
I found an empiric relation between the number of digits of the period
(d) et the fact that p is prime, namely that d is a divisor of p-1. I
have been told that this was proved by Gauss. Is there a Web page about
this ? Is this could be of any use in the search for large primes ?
Thanks for your answer.
Yann
