MM61

Double Mersenne primes have the format: 2^(2^prime(n) - 1) - 1. MM61 means 2^(2^61-1)-1 or 22305843009213693951 - 1. This number has approximately 694127911065419641 digits. It is unknown whether this number is prime or composite.

This is the smallest double Mersenne prime for which it is unknown whether it is composite or prime. Yet people are obsessed with proving that it is prime.  Or not.

"A number of people (including the author of this page) have tried finding divisors of MM61, MM89, MM107, MM127, MM521, MM607 and others, but so far without success"

It has been proven that MM61 is not divisible by any number up to 1167025860000000.

That is some dedication. I wonder if we will ever know the answer.

  1. I was so beyond sad and lonely, my husband I have been together since we were 23 years old and we are now on our late 30’s. He left me 2 months ago with 3 children, I thought that we were happily married, but he wants a divorce. He changed 3 months ago after he had a panic attack, he has been under serious financial pressure and health of his brother as well as 3 screaming children at home.
    I was so depressed and crying all day long because I had no idea how to get him back, he is the absolute love of my life. My life was crumbling and shattering before my eyes until I found testimonies about love spells which gave me hope and prepared my mind for a second chance. Dr. wakina was highly mentioned in all the testimonies and I was convinced that he can help me. Dr. wakina read my mind and told me things which I was even afraid to share, dr. told me that my husband is planning of selling our home. I was shocked how he knew that because I have been thinking on where I should live with the kids and what to do about my future without him. I needed dr.’s help because I don’t know what is coming.
    Dr. wakina was touched and decided to helped me, he cast the love spell and instructed me on what to do which I did for three nights, my husband came back on the fought night, smiling and happy. Things has really changed for us, we don’t lack again and he has a good job now, his brother is well now. Am so short of words to express my deepest feelings, thank you dr. wakina for helping me, am so grateful. Contact him via dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com
