Hello, It seems that there is a misprint on the page http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/usersanduses/mersenne.html We read that "In June 1999 an international group of mathematicians, computer scientists, and hobbyists <...> discovered that 2^6972593-1 is prime." But it is not true: In[3]:= PrimeQ[2^26972593 - 1] Out[3]= False
