Just of curiosity:
Has it ever happened that a factor for Mx later has proved to be a
mersenne prime itself?
Has the same factor been a factor for two different Mx and My?
In my humble oppinion both questions answers No; but GIMPS could have
proved otherwise.
Anyway, it must exist a great deal of low primes; which by now never can
become mersenne factors (by reason: 2kp+1). So with two types of primes,
those that are mersenne factors and those that never can be, do we have
any means of distinguish them?
Happy hunting

Btw: (M29 mod 1 + M29 mod 2 +......+ M29 mod 32) = 233 which is 1.
factor of M29
