Fibonacci Prime
A Fibonacci prime is a Fibonacci number that is prime, a type of integer sequence prime. The first Fibonacci primes are : : 2, 3, 5, 13, 89, 233, 1597, 28657, 514229, 433494437, 2971215073, .... Known Fibonacci primes It is not known whether there are infinitely many Fibonacci primes. With the indexing starting with , the first 34 indices ''n'' for which ''F''''n'' is prime are : :''n'' = 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 23, 29, 43, 47, 83, 131, 137, 359, 431, 433, 449, 509, 569, 571, 2971, 4723, 5387, 9311, 9677, 14431, 25561, 30757, 35999, 37511, 50833, 81839, 104911, 130021, 148091. (Note that the actual values ''F''''n'' rapidly become very large, so, for practicality, only the indices are listed.) In addition to these proven Fibonacci primes, several probable primes have been found: :''n'' = 201107, 397379, 433781, 590041, 593689, 604711, 931517, 1049897, 1285607, 1636007, 1803059, 1968721, 2904353, 3244369, 3340367, 4740217, 6530879. 0 such that ''Fu'' is divisible by ''p'' i ...

2 (number)
2 (two) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 1 and preceding 3. It is the smallest and only even prime number. Because it forms the basis of a duality, it has religious and spiritual significance in many cultures. Evolution Arabic digit The digit used in the modern Western world to represent the number 2 traces its roots back to the Indic Brahmic script, where "2" was written as two horizontal lines. The modern Chinese and Japanese languages (and Korean Hanja) still use this method. The Gupta script rotated the two lines 45 degrees, making them diagonal. The top line was sometimes also shortened and had its bottom end curve towards the center of the bottom line. In the Nagari script, the top line was written more like a curve connecting to the bottom line. In the Arabic Ghubar writing, the bottom line was completely vertical, and the digit looked like a dotless closing question mark. Restoring the bottom line to its original horizonta ...

Carmichael's Theorem
In number theory, Carmichael's theorem, named after the American mathematician R. D. Carmichael, states that, for any nondegenerate Lucas sequence of the first kind ''U''''n''(''P'', ''Q'') with relatively prime parameters ''P'', ''Q'' and positive discriminant, an element ''U''''n'' with ''n'' ≠ 1, 2, 6 has at least one prime divisor that does not divide any earlier one except the 12th Fibonacci number F(12) = ''U''12(1, −1) = 144 and its equivalent ''U''12(−1, −1) = −144. In particular, for ''n'' greater than 12, the ''n''th Fibonacci number F(''n'') has at least one prime divisor that does not divide any earlier Fibonacci number. Carmichael (1913, Theorem 21) proved this theorem. Recently, Yabuta (2001) gave a simple proof. Statement Given two relatively prime integers ''P'' and ''Q'', such that D=P^2-4Q>0 and , let be the Lucas sequence of the first kind defined by :\begin U_0(P,Q)&=0, \ ...

Prime Pages
The PrimePages is a website about prime numbers maintained by Chris Caldwell at the University of Tennessee at Martin. 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 5,000th prime has around 412,000 digits.. Retrieved on 2018-02-12. 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 subsequent years, the whole top-5,000 has consisted of gigantic primes (primes with at least 10,000 decimal digits). Primes of special forms are kept on the current lists if they are titanic and in the top-20 or top-5 for their form. See also *List of prime numbers This is a list of articles about pri ...

Lucas Number
The Lucas numbers or Lucas series are an integer sequence named after the mathematician François Édouard Anatole Lucas (1842–1891), who studied both that sequence and the closely related Fibonacci numbers. Lucas numbers and Fibonacci numbers form complementary instances of Lucas sequences. The Lucas series has the same recursive relationship as the Fibonacci sequence, where each term is the sum of the two previous terms, but with different starting values. This produces a sequence where the ratios of successive terms approach the golden ratio, and in fact the terms themselves are roundings of integer powers of the golden ratio. The sequence also has a variety of relationships with the Fibonacci numbers, like the fact that adding any two Fibonacci numbers two terms apart in the Fibonacci sequence results in the Lucas number in between. The first few Lucas numbers are : 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778, 9349 .... Defini ...

Lucas Sequence
In mathematics, the Lucas sequences U_n(P,Q) and V_n(P, Q) are certain constant-recursive integer sequences that satisfy the recurrence relation : x_n = P \cdot x_ - Q \cdot x_ where P and Q are fixed integers. Any sequence satisfying this recurrence relation can be represented as a linear combination of the Lucas sequences U_n(P, Q) and V_n(P, Q). More generally, Lucas sequences U_n(P, Q) and V_n(P, Q) represent sequences of polynomials in P and Q with integer coefficients. Famous examples of Lucas sequences include the Fibonacci numbers, Mersenne numbers, Pell numbers, Lucas numbers, Jacobsthal numbers, and a superset of Fermat numbers . Lucas sequences are named after the French mathematician Édouard Lucas. Recurrence relations Given two integer parameters P and Q, the Lucas sequences of the first kind U_n(P,Q) and of the second kind V_n(P,Q) are defined by the recurrence relations: :\begin U_0(P,Q)&=0, \\ U_1(P,Q)&=1, \\ U_n(P,Q)&=P\cdot U_(P,Q)-Q\cdot U_(P,Q) \mbox ...

Natural Number
In mathematics, the natural numbers are those numbers used for counting (as in "there are ''six'' coins on the table") and ordering (as in "this is the ''third'' largest city in the country"). Numbers used for counting are called ''Cardinal number, cardinal numbers'', and numbers used for ordering are called ''Ordinal number, ordinal numbers''. Natural numbers are sometimes used as labels, known as ''nominal numbers'', having none of the properties of numbers in a mathematical sense (e.g. sports Number (sports), jersey numbers). Some definitions, including the standard ISO/IEC 80000, ISO 80000-2, begin the natural numbers with , corresponding to the non-negative integers , whereas others start with , corresponding to the positive integers Texts that exclude zero from the natural numbers sometimes refer to the natural numbers together with zero as the whole numbers, while in other writings, that term is used instead for the integers (including negative integers).

Primitive Part
In algebra, the content of a polynomial with integer coefficients (or, more generally, with coefficients in a unique factorization domain) is the greatest common divisor of its coefficients. The primitive part of such a polynomial is the quotient of the polynomial by its content. Thus a polynomial is the product of its primitive part and its content, and this factorization is unique up to the multiplication of the content by a unit of the ring of the coefficients (and the multiplication of the primitive part by the inverse of the unit). A polynomial is primitive if its content equals 1. Thus the primitive part of a polynomial is a primitive polynomial. Gauss's lemma for polynomials states that the product of primitive polynomials (with coefficients in the same unique factorization domain) also is primitive. This implies that the content and the primitive part of the product of two polynomials are, respectively, the product of the contents and the product of the primitive parts. ...

Conjecture
In mathematics, a conjecture is a conclusion or a proposition that is proffered on a tentative basis without proof. Some conjectures, such as the Riemann hypothesis (still a conjecture) or Fermat's Last Theorem (a conjecture until proven in 1995 by Andrew Wiles), have shaped much of mathematical history as new areas of mathematics are developed in order to prove them. Important examples Fermat's Last Theorem In number theory, Fermat's Last Theorem (sometimes called Fermat's conjecture, especially in older texts) states that no three positive integers a, ''b'', and ''c'' can satisfy the equation ''a^n + b^n = c^n'' for any integer value of ''n'' greater than two. This theorem was first conjectured by Pierre de Fermat in 1637 in the margin of a copy of '' Arithmetica'', where he claimed that he had a proof that was too large to fit in the margin. The first successful proof was released in 1994 by Andrew Wiles, and formally published in 1995, after 358 years of effort by mathe ...

Legendre Symbol
In number theory, the Legendre symbol is a multiplicative function with values 1, −1, 0 that is a quadratic character modulo an odd prime number ''p'': its value at a (nonzero) quadratic residue mod ''p'' is 1 and at a non-quadratic residue (''non-residue'') is −1. Its value at zero is 0. The Legendre symbol was introduced by Adrien-Marie Legendre in 1798 in the course of his attempts at proving the law of quadratic reciprocity. Generalizations of the symbol include the Jacobi symbol and Dirichlet characters of higher order. The notational convenience of the Legendre symbol inspired introduction of several other "symbols" used in algebraic number theory, such as the Hilbert symbol and the Artin symbol. Definition Let p be an odd prime number. An integer a is a quadratic residue modulo p if it is congruent to a perfect square modulo p and is a quadratic nonresidue modulo p otherwise. The Legendre symbol is a function of a and p defined as :\left(\frac\right) = \begi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wall–Sun–Sun Prime
In number theory, a Wall–Sun–Sun prime or Fibonacci–Wieferich prime is a certain kind of prime number which is conjectured to exist, although none are known. Definition Let p be a prime number. When each term in the sequence of Fibonacci numbers F_n is reduced modulo p, the result is a periodic sequence. The (minimal) period length of this sequence is called the Pisano period and denoted \pi(p). Since F_0 = 0, it follows that ''p'' divides F_. A prime ''p'' such that ''p''2 divides F_ is called a Wall–Sun–Sun prime. Equivalent definitions If \alpha(m) denotes the rank of apparition modulo m (i.e., \alpha(m) is the smallest positive index m such that m divides F_), then a Wall–Sun–Sun prime can be equivalently defined as a prime p such that p^2 divides F_. For a prime ''p'' ≠ 2, 5, the rank of apparition \alpha(p) is known to divide p - \left(\tfrac\right), where the Legendre symbol \textstyle\left(\frac\right) has the values :\left(\frac\right) = \begin ...
