Number Theory Integer Division I Integer Division II Integer Division
... By the FTA, Q is either prime (in which case we are done) or Q can be written as the product of two or more primes. Thus, one of the primes pj (1 ≤ j ≤ n) must divide Q, but then if pj | Q, it must be the case that ...

Number Theory III: Mersenne and Fermat Type Numbers
... M2 = 22 − 1 = 3, M3 = 23 − 1 = 7, M5 = 25 − 1 = 31, M7 = 27 − 1 = 127. This might lead one to conjecture that all Mersenne numbers in which the index n is prime, are prime. However, M11 turns out to be composite, so this conjecture is not true. • Record Mersenne primes: Nearly all of the record prim ...
