Smallest floor of k for cullen prime
 

A related problem to the project.
Find the smallest floor of k for a cullen prime?

eg. 18496*2^18496+1 is prime and 18496=2^4*17^2. Hence 17 is the floor of the k for this prime.

what is the smallest floor value, a Cullen prime can have?
(1*2^1+1 does not count)

Looking at 2^n*2^(2^n)+1
then n+2^n must be equal to 2^m (This is not possible)

So what about k=2^x*3^y?

:popcorn:

I looked at values with floor<=13 and k=1.5M to 5M and sieved to p=2.5G

Values left=96

I made file for P-1 out of it. Whoever takes it, just post your results here as an attachment, no need to send them in.

I will take it.

ET_ any factors yet?

[QUOTE=Citrix;103849]ET_ any factors yet?[/QUOTE]

Yes, I guess... But I usually wait until the end of the worktodo file before posting them. If you need factors, I'll give you factors.

I want to sieve these numbers. So every number removed would speed up the sieve very much as there are only 96 numbers.

Please post the factors or PM them to me. Thanks. :smile:
