Subject: [Prime] A very dumb question
...
Hi,
I'm just 0.3% of
the way through my first Mersenne check.
I scanned a good
deal of the "Maths" pages but it doesn't explicitly state how far the L-L
check progresses before success/failure.
However it does
look like it has to go all the way, ie. up to S(P-2), to see whether
you get that final 0 mod result.
Can someone
confirm ?
Cheers,
Greg
