There are infinitely many pseudoprimes to any given base a > 1. In 1904, Cipolla showed how to produce an infinite number of pseudoprimes to base a > 1: let A = (a p - 1)/(a - 1) and let B = (a p + 1)/(a + 1), where p is a prime number that does not divide a(a 2 - 1). Then n = AB is composite, and is a pseudoprime to base a.
Graphs of y = b x for various bases b: base 10, base e, base 2, base 1 / 2 . Each curve passes through the point (0, 1) because any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. At x = 1, the value of y equals the base because any number raised to the power of 1 is the number itself.
If 2 k + 1 is prime and k > 0, then k itself must be a power of 2, [1] so 2 k + 1 is a Fermat number; such primes are called Fermat primes. As of 2023 [update] , the only known Fermat primes are F 0 = 3 , F 1 = 5 , F 2 = 17 , F 3 = 257 , and F 4 = 65537 (sequence A019434 in the OEIS ).
The product operator for the product of a sequence is denoted by the capital Greek letter pi Π (in analogy to the use of the capital Sigma Σ as summation symbol). [1] For example, the expression ∏ i = 1 6 i 2 {\displaystyle \textstyle \prod _{i=1}^{6}i^{2}} is another way of writing 1 ⋅ 4 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 16 ⋅ 25 ⋅ 36 {\displaystyle 1 ...
Visualization of powers of two from 1 to 1024 (2 0 to 2 10) as base-2 Dienes blocks. A power of two is a number of the form 2 n where n is an integer, that is, the result of exponentiation with number two as the base and integer n as the exponent. In the fast-growing hierarchy, 2 n is exactly equal to ().
Yahoo Sports’ 26-and-under power rankings are a remix on the traditional farm system rankings that assess the strength of MLB organizations’ talent base among rookie-eligible and MiLB players ...
The natural numbers 0 and 1 are trivial sum-product numbers for all , and all other sum-product numbers are nontrivial sum-product numbers. For example, the number 144 in base 10 is a sum-product number, because 1 + 4 + 4 = 9 {\displaystyle 1+4+4=9} , 1 × 4 × 4 = 16 {\displaystyle 1\times 4\times 4=16} , and 9 × 16 = 144 {\displaystyle 9 ...
In number theory, a super-Poulet number is a Poulet number, or pseudoprime to base 2, whose every divisor divides . For example, 341 is a super-Poulet number: it has positive divisors (1, 11, 31, 341), and we have: (2 11 - 2) / 11 = 2046 / 11 = 186 (2 31 - 2) / 31 = 2147483646 / 31 = 69273666
