In mathematics, a doubleMersennenumber is a Mersennenumber of the form M M p = 2 2 p − 1 − 1 {\displaystyle M_{M_{p}}=2^{2^{p}-1}-1} where p is prime...
In mathematics, a Mersenne prime is a prime number that is one less than a power of two. That is, it is a prime number of the form Mn = 2n − 1 for some...
