| We were told
M17
= 217 - 1 and
M19
= 219 - 1 are prime numbers.
If this is true then the following two numbers should be perfect numbers: 216(217 - 1) 218(219 - 1) The first number, when computed on my calculator, is 8589869056. The second one is too large
to be displayed on my 10-digit calculator.
Why don't we guess the last two digits? |
