Solutions to the Number Theory Problems - Mathematics

We have 2n= p k+1 = (p+1)(pk 1 p 2 + 1) so (p+1) is a power of 2 say p+1 = 2 l Then 2n= p k+1 = (2 l1) +1 = (2l)k (2l)k 1+ +(2 ) 1 +1 = (2l)k (2l) 1+ +(2l) and this is an odd multiple of 2 l Since 2n is an odd multiple of 2 we must have 2n = 2l So we have 2n = p k+ 1 = (2n 1) + 1 This only happens when n= 1 or when k= 1 neither of which

If n ‚ 2 and an ¡1 is prime we call an ¡1 a Mersenne prime For which integers a can an ¡1 be prime? We take n ‚ 2 as if n = 1 then a is just one more than a prime We know using the geometric series that an ¡1 = (a¡1)(an¡1 +an¡2 +¢¢¢ +a+1): (1) So a¡1 j an¡1and therefore an¡1will be composite unless a¡1 = 1 or

How do you factor 2n1?

Also, if n is composite, so that n = k ‘; with k > 1 and ‘ > 1; then we can factor 2n1 as in the hint: 2k‘1 = (2k1)(2k(‘ 1)+2k(‘ 2)+ +2k+1): and each factor on the right is clearly greater than 1: which is a contradiction, so n must be prime. Question 3.

Which integer of the form n3+1 is a prime?

Question 1. [p 74. #6] Show that no integer of the form n3+1 is a prime, other than 2 = 13+1: Solution: If n3+1 is a prime, since n3+1 = (n+1)(n2n+1); then either n +1 = 1 or n2n+1 = 1: The n +1 = 1 is impossible, since n  1; and therefore we must have n2n+1 = 1; that is, n(n 1) = 0; so that n = 1: Question 2.

What is the smallest prime factor of N?

p n; then n p must be prime or 1: Solution: Let p be the smallest prime factor of n; and assume that p >3 p n: Case 1: If n is prime, then the smallest prime factor of n is p = n; and in this case n p = 1: Case 2: If n > 1 is not prime, then n must be composite, so that n = p n p ; and since p >3
