All the people that replied have already had feedback number 77. 77 is such
a special number and all of you have experienced that.

I didn't check the factorization of 3337 but I am sure its prime factors
are none of those of 3333 or 3335 (none of 5, 23, 29, 3, 11, 101)
That works with any odd number X. There is no common prime factor between X,
X+2 and X+4
Check for yourself with X=1111 or 157 or 119 or...
More?
Start with a prime number P bigger than 3 (so 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19,...)
Compute P * P - 1
It is always divisible by 24. Like 11*11-1=120=5 * 24
This is not true for odd numbers like 9. It should be a prime number
9^2 - 1 = 80 = 2^4 * 5
Break is over. Now we should go back to packing or listing or sorting!

This does make sense, at least one way but not backwards.
P^2-1 = (P+1)(P-1). To be divisible by 24, this must be divisible by 2x2x2x3,
so between them, P+1 and P-1 must be divisible by 2,3 and 4.
If P is prime, then it cannot be divided by 3. And for any three consecutive
numbers, one of them must be divisable by 3. So either P+1 or P-1 can be divided
by 3. We also know P+1 and P-1 are consecutive even numbers and so one must be
divisible by 2 and one by 4. So therefore the factors of P+1 and P-1 must contain
2, 3 and 4.
But there are counter examples where P is not prime.
25^2-1 = 624
35^2-1 = 1224
55^2-1 = 3024
It seems the backwards rule should be P must be either prime or an odd number
not divisible by 3. Because if it is divisible by 3, then P+1 or P-1 cannot be
divisible by 3.
Any odd number without 3 as a factor seems to work. So take P = 5x7x7x11x13 and
it works even though it is clearly not prime.

This does make sense, at least one way but not backwards.
P^2-1 = (P+1)(P-1). To be divisible by 24, this must be divisible by 2x2x2x3,
so between them, P+1 and P-1 must be divisible by 2,3 and 4.

Ah about Lucas-Lehmer?
Years ago I organized the French GIMPS/Prime95 Mersenne search pages, that was
a great time!

P^2-1 = (P+1)(P-1). To be divisible by 24, this must be divisible by 2x2x2x3,
so between them, P+1 and P-1 must be divisible by 2,3 and 4.
If P is prime, then it cannot be divided by 3. And for any three consecutive
numbers, one of them must be divisable by 3. So either P+1 or P-1 can be divided
by 3. We also know P+1 and P-1 are consecutive even numbers and so one must be
divisible by 2 and one by 4. So therefore the factors of P+1 and P-1 must contain
2, 3 and 4.
But there are counter examples where P is not prime.
25^2-1 = 624
35^2-1 = 1224
55^2-1 = 3024
|
These are not counter examples!
624 = 24 * 26
I mean
25^2 - 1 = (25 - 1)(25 + 1)
1224 = 24 * 51
3024 = 24 * 126
Not sure how you came up with these wrong examples after a full detailed proof
| |
It seems the backwards rule should be P must be either prime or an odd number
not divisible by 3. Because if it is divisible by 3, then P+1 or P-1 cannot be
divisible by 3.
|
There should not always be a backward rule.
Here, we can strengthen the result:
instead of "for every prime number larger than 3", you can replace it
with "for every odd number not divisible by 3" as you mentioned below.
| |
Any odd number without 3 as a factor seems to work. So take P = 5x7x7x11x13 and
it works even though it is clearly not prime.
|
More fun?
Easy: For any number n (like n=5, 100, 10000000,....), there exists n consecutive
numbers such that none of them is a prime number!
For n = 5, we can come up with 32, 33, 34, 35, 36
Hint: think about n! + 2 ,...
where n! = 1 * 2 * 3 * ... * n
Hard: there always exists a prime number between n and 2n for n = 2
(can be strengthened to "between n and 2n-2"
Its proof is longer, making few pages. I read it in the book "Proofs from
the book" written by a student(s) of Erdos.

They are counter examples to your statement: "This is not true for odd numbers
like 9. It should be a prime number."
P does not have to be a prime number, it just has to be an odd number not divisible
by 3.
And that is why I said the forward way statement is true (if P is prime, then
P^2-1 is divisible by 24).
However the reverse statement (it only works for P prime) is not true.

Now I get what you meant.
One calls an example a "counter example" if it holds the conditions of
a claim but the conclusion is false. So a counter example for the statement I
gave would be a prime number p bigger than 3 such that p^2 - 1 is not divisible
by 24.
Since the statement I gave is true, there is no counter example for it.
For example:
for any prime p, the number m = (2 ^ p) - 1 is also prime.
For example 2^2-1=3, 2^3-1=7, 2^5-1=31, 2^7-1=127,...are prime numbers.
We use a counter example to show that a statement is NOT true. In this case,
p=11 is prime so the conditions given in the statement holds however 2^11 - 1
is not prime:
2^11 - 1 = 2047 = 23 × 89
