New factors?
 

Hello, I am new to this forum and I have the following problem:

I have written a program for sieving Mersenne numbers and of course found a few factors. To my dishonour I must confess that I only logged factors larger than 1e15, but there are still 16 factors in the range 24M - 79.3M. Now I down-loaded a list of found factors and completed LL-Tests ([url]www.mersenne.org/primenet/cleared.txt[/url]) but I haven't found "my" factors.

For example, 1,168,021,662,505,063 is a factor of M24,036,611.

Now my question is: Didn't I find my factors, because this is not a complete list and these factors are so trivial, or did I really discover "new" factors? If they are new, what can I do with them?

The factor you listed has already been found. A file containing all factors found by GIMPS can be found at the bottom of [url]http://www.mersenne.org/status.htm[/url]

Okay, thanks about that one. I downloaded the files, decomp'd them and removed all factors from my database - below 79,3M, to be exact. But I have still 21 exponents beyond this which are not on the 79,3M+ list.

Examples?
6,268,906,931,703,001 divides M79,300,051
3,166,935,531,542,801 divides M79,301,063

Don't tell me they are known and on another list. And yet another question: I've read posts about the long mersenne hunt, but only seen exponent ranges up to 500,000,000. What about the exponents beyond that limit? I know they can't be LL'ed (today), but do they interest you? If so, here's another (I hope still unknown) factor:

522,625,626,312,906,367 divides M535,326,271

And now tell me what to do with the other factors. Shall I post them here or send them directly to Mr. Woltman?

Sure you can post here to check them... Anyway, Will Edgington has a monstruous database holding all known factors of Mersenne numbers at
[url]http://www.garlic.com/~wedgingt/mersenne.html[/url] l

You will also be happy to know that there are different distributed projects that work on Mersenne numbers above 79.2M:
Billion digits project at [url]http://www.elevensmooth.com/Billion.html[/url]
One hundred million digits project in the Lone Mersenne Hunters thread, LMH>79.2 subthread (ask Uncwilly). Both run on a simple factorization progarm written by me :innocent:

Also, I'd like to have a copy of your program to test it against mine. Maybe two heads think better than one, and we may help each other to optimize the code.

About the program(s): I don't know if I can do this because I don't know much about legal/copyright stuff (I wrote them with the authors version/edition of Visual C 6, so I might get in trouble :ermm: ). Maybe I can send it to you via e-mail or somehow. Tell me if you have a better idea.

If you send me only the executable I will bench it while you get in contact with your colleague.
Also, I can declare I won't try to decompile the executable.

My address is mc5225 AT mclink DOT it

Luigi

I send it to your address. Did you get it, or was it that bad ?

I received your email, but no attachment. I wll soon answer anyway :wink:

Luigi

:redface: Yeah, I know. I sent it again, i hope it will work now.

It does indeed, thank you :smile:
