Number 59649589127497217 is a factor of Fermat number F7
Recently I have written a page [URL="http://www.literka.addr.com/mathcountry/numth/proof4.htm"]http://www.literka.addr.com/mathcountry/numth/proof4.htm[/URL] with a proof that59649589127497217 is a factor of Fermat number F7. It is something similar to my previous work about F5 and F6 (see my posts in this section "Factoring" or visit my description page [URL="http://www.literka.addr.com/mathcountry"]http://www.literka.addr.com/mathcountry[/URL].
Unfortunately factors of F7 are large numbers, hence some computation had to be with numbers of same size. Still these numbers are incomparably smaller than F7. |

You should write at least few words. I am not going to try to understand your post. Read my previous posts. |

He was giving a simple code to accomplish the same thing as your proof. Except his version goes straight to (11) in yours, negating the need for, well, your entire "proof". Might I ask why you are "proving" known Fermat divisors? Do you think this will give some unknown insight into Fermat divisors to allow one to predict what unknown divisors are? |

It is proof not a "proof". The purpose is obvious, so obvious that I did not mention if: to find a proof that something is a factor with no help of a computer and avoid time-consuming computations as presented by Retina. In mathematics something computed by a computer is not regarded as a proof. This problem arose with a "proof" of Four Colors Theorem. Many mathematicians regarded this as not a proof because of intense using of computers. I suspect that my proof of F7 is not best possible i.e. there must be a proof more straightforward, using less computations. |

Maybe I exaggerated a little bit. It should be: In mathematics something computed by a computer is not regarded as a proof by most of mathematicians. |

Thank you for playing.[/QUOTE] I don't want to ague with you about it, it is not a subject of this post. No statistics is made. I heard the story, but it is only a story, I am not sure that it is a true story. And the story is this: Long time ago it was announced that a proof of Four Colors Theorem was found. It was presented in Finland and I talked to mathematicians, who were there. They did not accept this proof because of use of computers. They even told that the method was known long before. Presenters just wrote a program to verify what was known before. This is everything I know about it. I heard this from a second hand so I cannot be sure that it is true. |

Shoot, I'd be impressed if a mathematician could do that longhand without making a mistake (for that matter, just how [I]did[/I] mathematicians, like Lucas with M127, do enormous calculations way-back-when?). It's far easier to trust a computer. Since you're already working from the prior knowledge that the factor exists, why not take both factors and multiply them together? That'd be a much less difficult feat. |
