(b^p+1)/(b+1) is divisible by p if p = b+1, such numbers are primes when divided by p for b = 4, 18, ... ((b+1)^p+b^p)/(2b+1) is divisible by p if p = 2b+1, such numbers are primes when divisible by p for b = 2, 3, 6, 18, ... Last fiddled with by sweety439 on 2020-10-17 at 07:02

Is WWW7 prime? I guess no, MM7 is the largest double-Mersenne prime and WW7 is the largest double-Wagstaff prime Also, 127 is the largest number which satisfy all three conditions of New Mersenne Conjecture. By this conjecture, WM5 and WM7 are primes, however, MW5 and MW7 are not primes (if they are primes, then they will disprove this conjecture :)) (since W5 = 11 and W7 = 43 are not of the form 2^n+-1 or 4^n+-3) These six numbers are also composite: WMM5, MWM5, WWM5, MMW5, WMW5, MWW5 However, no known status for these six numbers for 7 instead of 5 By the way, M7 and W7 are the largest known primes such that Phi(p*znorder(p,2),2)/p is prime (the other known such primes are 3, 5, 7, 19, they also satisfy that Mp and W7 are primes, however, W7 does not satisfy that) For Phi(p^2*znorder(p,2),2)/p, the only known such primes are 3 and 7, and no known primes for Phi(p^3*znorder(p,2),2)/p and above

In general .... (let Rp(b) = (b^p-1)/(b-1)) * If 2p+1 is prime (i.e. p is Sophie Germain prime), then Rp(b) is harder to be prime, since half of the bases b should be removed as Rp(b) is divisible by 2p+1 * If 4p+1 is prime, then a quarter of the bases b should be removed * If 6p+1 is prime, then a sixth of the bases b should be removed * If 8p+1 is prime, then an eighth of the bases b should be removed etc. Also, it seems that if p is irregular prime (37, 59, 67, 101, 103, 131, 149, 157, 233, 257, 263, 271, 283, 293, 307, 311, 347, 353, 379, 389, 401, 409, 421, 433, 461, 463, 467, 491, 523, 541, 547, 557, 577, 587, 593, ...), then Rp(b) (also Rp(b)/(2*p+1), Rp(b)/(4*p+1), Rp(b)/(6*p+1), Rp(b)/(8*p+1), etc. if Rp(b) is divisible by 2(4,6,8,etc.)*p+1) is harder to be prime (than the regular primes nearby to p), e.g. for p=37, the smallest base b such that Rp(b) is prime is 61, which is much larger than the primes nearby to it (29 -> 6, 31 -> 2, 41 -> 14, 43 -> 15), and for p = 67, the smallest base b such that Rp(b) is prime is 46, which is also larger than the primes nearby to it (53 -> 24 (this is because 2*53+1 is prime, then 24>19), 59 (also irregular) -> 19, 61 -> 2, 71 -> 3, 73 -> 11) Note that Mersenne thinks R67(2) and R257(2) are primes, but they are composite, and 67 and 257 are irregular primes
