61 (number)
61 (sixty-one) is the natural number following 60 and preceding 62. In mathematics 61 is the 18th prime number, and a twin prime with 59. As a centered square number, it is the sum of two consecutive squares, 5^2 + 6^2. It is also a centered decagonal number, and a centered hexagonal number. 61 is the fourth cuban prime of the form p = \frac where x = y + 1, and the fourth Pillai prime since 8! + 1 is divisible by 61, but 61 is not one more than a multiple of 8. It is also a Keith number, as it recurs in a Fibonacci-like sequence started from its base 10 digits: 6, 1, 7, 8, 15, 23, 38, 61, ... 61 is a unique prime in base 14, since no other prime has a 6-digit period in base 14, and palindromic in bases 6 (1416) and 60 (1160). It is the sixth up/down or Euler zigzag number. 61 is the smallest ''proper prime'', a prime p which ends in the digit 1 in decimal and whose reciprocal in base-10 has a repeating sequence of length p - 1, where each digit (0, 1, ..., 9) ap ...

Prime Number
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a Product (mathematics), product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, or , involve 5 itself. However, 4 is composite because it is a product (2 × 2) in which both numbers are smaller than 4. Primes are central in number theory because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every natural number greater than 1 is either a prime itself or can be factorization, factorized as a product of primes that is unique up to their order. The property of being prime is called primality. A simple but slow primality test, method of checking the primality of a given number , called trial division, tests whether is a multiple of any integer between 2 and . Faster algorithms include the Miller–Rabin primality test, which is fast but has a small chance of error ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Decimal
The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary or decanary) is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers (''decimal fractions'') of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. The way of denoting numbers in the decimal system is often referred to as ''decimal notation''. A decimal numeral (also often just ''decimal'' or, less correctly, ''decimal number''), refers generally to the notation of a number in the decimal numeral system. Decimals may sometimes be identified by a decimal separator (usually "." or "," as in or ). ''Decimal'' may also refer specifically to the digits after the decimal separator, such as in " is the approximation of to ''two decimals''". Zero-digits after a decimal separator serve the purpose of signifying the precision of a value. The numbers that may be represented in the decimal system are the decimal fractions. That is, fractions of the form , w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Descartes Number
In number theory, a Descartes number is an odd number which would have been an odd perfect number if one of its composite factors were prime. They are named after René Descartes who observed that the number would be an odd perfect number if only were a prime number, since the sum-of-divisors function for would satisfy, if 22021 were prime, :\begin \sigma(D) &= (3^2+3+1)\cdot(7^2+7+1)\cdot(11^2+11+1)\cdot(13^2+13+1)\cdot(22021+1) \\ &= (13)\cdot(3\cdot19)\cdot(7\cdot19)\cdot(3\cdot61)\cdot(22\cdot1001) \\ &= 3^2\cdot7\cdot13\cdot19^2\cdot61\cdot(22\cdot7\cdot11\cdot13) \\ &= 2 \cdot (3^2\cdot7^2\cdot11^2\cdot13^2) \cdot (19^2\cdot61) \\ &= 2 \cdot (3^2\cdot7^2\cdot11^2\cdot13^2) \cdot 22021 = 2D, \end where we ignore the fact that 22021 is composite (). A Descartes number is defined as an odd number where and are coprime and , whence is taken as a 'spoof' prime. The example given is the only one currently known.

Prime Factor
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, or , involve 5 itself. However, 4 is composite because it is a product (2 × 2) in which both numbers are smaller than 4. Primes are central in number theory because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every natural number greater than 1 is either a prime itself or can be factorized as a product of primes that is unique up to their order. The property of being prime is called primality. A simple but slow method of checking the primality of a given number , called trial division, tests whether is a multiple of any integer between 2 and . Faster algorithms include the Miller–Rabin primality test, which is fast but has a small chance of error, and the AKS primality test, which always pro ...

PrimePages
The PrimePages is a website about prime numbers originally created by Chris Caldwell at the University of Tennessee at Martin who maintained it from 1994 to 2023. The site maintains the list of the "5,000 largest known primes", selected smaller primes of special forms, and many "top twenty" lists for primes of various forms. The PrimePages has articles on primes and primality testing. It includes "The Prime Glossary" with articles on hundreds of glosses related to primes, and "Prime Curios!" with thousands of curios about specific numbers. The database started as a list of "titanic primes" (primes with at least 1000 decimal digits) by Samuel Yates in 1984. On March 11, 2023, the PrimePages moved from primes.utm.edu to t5k.org, and is no longer maintained by Caldwell.

Double Mersenne Number
In mathematics, a double Mersenne number is a Mersenne prime, Mersenne number of the form :M_ = 2^-1 where ''p'' is prime number, prime. Examples The first four terms of the integer sequence, sequence of double Mersenne numbers areChris Caldwell''Mersenne Primes: History, Theorems and Lists''at the Prime Pages. : :M_ = M_3 = 7 :M_ = M_7 = 127 :M_ = M_ = 2147483647 :M_ = M_ = 170141183460469231731687303715884105727 Double Mersenne primes A double Mersenne number that is prime number, prime is called a double Mersenne prime. Since a Mersenne number ''M''''p'' can be prime only if ''p'' is prime, (see Mersenne prime for a proof), a double Mersenne number M_ can be prime only if ''M''''p'' is itself a Mersenne prime. For the first values of ''p'' for which ''M''''p'' is prime, M_ is known to be prime for ''p'' = 2, 3, 5, 7 while explicit factors of M_ have been found for ''p'' = 13, 17, 19, and mersenne prime 31.

Mersenne Prime
In mathematics, a Mersenne prime is a prime number that is one less than a power of two. That is, it is a prime number of the form for some integer . They are named after Marin Mersenne, a French Minim friar, who studied them in the early 17th century. If is a composite number then so is . Therefore, an equivalent definition of the Mersenne primes is that they are the prime numbers of the form for some prime . The exponents which give Mersenne primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, ... and the resulting Mersenne primes are 3, 7, 31, 127, 8191, 131071, 524287, 2147483647, ... . Numbers of the form without the primality requirement may be called Mersenne numbers. Sometimes, however, Mersenne numbers are defined to have the additional requirement that should be prime. The smallest composite Mersenne number with prime exponent ''n'' is . Mersenne primes were studied in antiquity because of their close connection to perfect numbers: the Euclid–Eule ...

Euclidean Tilings By Convex Regular Polygons
Euclidean Plane (mathematics), plane Tessellation, tilings by convex regular polygons have been widely used since antiquity. The first systematic mathematical treatment was that of Johannes Kepler, Kepler in his (Latin language, Latin: ''The Harmony of the World'', 1619). Notation of Euclidean tilings Euclidean tilings are usually named after Cundy & Rollett’s notation. This notation represents (i) the number of vertices, (ii) the number of polygons around each vertex (arranged clockwise) and (iii) the number of sides to each of those polygons. For example: 36; 36; 34.6, tells us there are 3 vertices with 2 different vertex types, so this tiling would be classed as a ‘3-uniform (2-vertex types)’ tiling. Broken down, 36; 36 (both of different transitivity class), or (36)2, tells us that there are 2 vertices (denoted by the superscript 2), each with 6 equilateral 3-sided polygons (triangles). With a final vertex 34.6, 4 more contiguous equilateral triangles and a single re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Primorial
In mathematics, and more particularly in number theory, primorial, denoted by "", is a function from natural numbers to natural numbers similar to the factorial function, but rather than successively multiplying positive integers, the function only multiplies prime numbers. The name "primorial", coined by Harvey Dubner, draws an analogy to ''primes'' similar to the way the name "factorial" relates to ''factors''. Definition for prime numbers For the th prime number , the primorial is defined as the product of the first primes: :p_n\# = \prod_^n p_k, where is the th prime number. For instance, signifies the product of the first 5 primes: :p_5\# = 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7 \times 11= 2310. The first few primorials are: : 1, 2, 6, 30, 210, 2310, 30030, 510510, 9699690... . Asymptotically, primorials grow according to: :p_n\# = e^, where is Little O notation. Definition for natural numbers In general, for a positive integer , its primorial, , is th ...
