Hi, I need some help.
I would like to look for a factor of a mersenne prime in a specific area.
For example, for a mersenne exponent of say 40,000,000. I want to use the
Prime95b program, (v19 I guess), to search for a factor in a specific range
from, say, 2^40 to 2^50. I do not understand the

When this is cleared up, it will make a good FAQ.
Who maintains the FAQ list? Do you agree the answer here is a good FAQ?

The computer has found TWO factors of 2^647+1. It's still
searching! WHY
Good question. Most likely, because what's left is still composite.
But since I don't know what program you're using nor what factors it
has found, I can't help you more without more
