Yes, your number 3*2^5523861 + 1 is composite, because PrimeGrid has established the primality status of all numbers 3*2^n ± 1 for n up to over 15.5 million, see their page stats_321_llr. We do not have access to their data, but if we ask them, they can maybe tell us if this candidate was eliminated during sieving (they may have the prime factor then) or during primality testing and double checking (they may have the residue then). However, I guess it is of limited interest. /JeppeSN

3*2^5523861 + 1 is definitely composite. From the List of primes k*2n + 1 for k < 300 we have for k = 3,

Gary Gostin discovered the second Fermat factor of this year! This was discovered on an AMD EPYC 7702P based server running a new version of pmfs that incorporates George Woltman's gwnum library. Congratulations to Gary from FermatSearch, for his 83rd factor, we now have 352 Fermat factors known!

Awesome, congrats!!

Is the new pmfs version available somewhere, either as source or a compiled Linux binary?

Not at the moment. It's still in development.
No plans for a public release, either.

Just received this email: Code: Hello Luigi, I would like to report the following new Fermat factor: 171,369,935 * 2^11077 + 1 divides F11075 This was discovered today (June 29) running pmfs on an HPE Superdome X system. Congratulations Gary!!! Please note that due to a migration to upgrade the webserver I had to schedule to grant power, space and bandwidth to you all, migration happening between today and tomorrow, the FermatSearch.org site update will be delayed.

Congrats on a World Record Fermat Divisor!

PrimeGrid has held the record for many years up until now...

Way to go!

Congratulations! Did you find it on ProthSearch?
Any more infos related to the computing system and the program you used (and its maintainer)?

Great -- another proof that the number is prime! Congratulations!
