... A Mersenne prime is a prime number of the form 2k − 1 where k is a positive integer. They are related to perfect numbers (if Mn is a Mersenne prime, Mn (M2 n +1) is perfect). Perfect numbers are numbers that are equal to the sum of their proper factors, for example 6 = 1 · 2 · 3 = 1 + 2 + 3 is perfe ...

... number we are factoring is even, then we keep using 2 as one of the factors until it is no longer even. Then we can try 3, then 5, then 7, then 11, and so on for succeeding prime numbers. But it is not really necessary to start with 2. If we were doing the prime factorization of 88, we might start w ...

Prime number theorem



In number theory, the prime number theorem (PNT) describes the asymptotic distribution of the prime numbers among the positive integers. It formalizes the intuitive idea that primes become less common as they become larger by precisely quantifying the rate at which this occurs. The theorem was proved independently by Jacques Hadamard and Charles Jean de la Vallée-Poussin in 1896 using ideas introduced by Bernhard Riemann (in particular, the Riemann zeta function).The first such distribution found is π(N) ~ N / log(N), where π(N) is the prime-counting function and log(N) is the natural logarithm of N. This means that for large enough N, the probability that a random integer not greater than N is prime is very close to 1 / log(N). Consequently, a random integer with at most 2n digits (for large enough n) is about half as likely to be prime as a random integer with at most n digits. For example, among the positive integers of at most 1000 digits, about one in 2300 is prime (log(101000) ≈ 2302.6), whereas among positive integers of at most 2000 digits, about one in 4600 is prime (log(102000) ≈ 4605.2). In other words, the average gap between consecutive prime numbers among the first N integers is roughly log(N).
