... In 1548-1626, Cataldi [28] proved that all perfect numbers given by Euclid’s form end in 6 or 8. In 1603, Cataldi [78] found and listed all primes ≤ 750, then proved that 217 −1 = 131071 is a prime because 131071 < 562500 = 7502 , and he could check the number with his list of primes (≤ 750) to show ...
