Generalization of a Theorem of Drobot
It is well known that the Fibonacci number Fn can be a prime only If n 4 or n p, where p is an odd prime. Throughout this paper, p will denote a prime. In a very interesting paper, Drobot [2] proved that Fp is composite for certain primes p. In particular, he proved that if p > 7, p = 2 or 4 (mod 5), and 2p -1 is also a prime, then 2p -11 Fp and Fp > 2p . For example, 371 Fl9 = 4181-37-113. A s...
متن کاملCongruence and Uniqueness of Certain Markoff Numbers
By making use of only simple facts about congruence, we first show that every even Markoff number is congruent to 2 modulo 32, and then establish the uniqueness for those Markoff numbers c where one of 3c − 2 and 3c + 2 is a prime power, 4 times a prime power, or 8 times a prime power.
متن کاملThe period of the Bell numbers modulo a prime
We discuss the numbers in the title, and in particular whether the minimum period of the Bell numbers modulo a prime p can be a proper divisor of Np = (pp − 1)/(p− 1). It is known that the period always divides Np. The period is shown to equal Np for most primes p below 180. The investigation leads to interesting new results about the possible prime factors of Np. For example, we show that if p...
متن کاملSieve Methods
Preface Sieve methods have had a long and fruitful history. The sieve of Eratosthenes (around 3rd century B.C.) was a device to generate prime numbers. Later Legendre used it in his studies of the prime number counting function π(x). Sieve methods bloomed and became a topic of intense investigation after the pioneering work of Viggo Brun (see [Bru16],[Bru19], [Bru22]). Using his formulation of ...
متن کاملStein E
We present a certain geometrical interpretation of the natural numbers, where these numbers appear as joint products of 5and 3-multiples located at specified positions in a revolving chamber. Numbers without factors 2, 3 or 5 appear at eight such positions, and any prime number larger than 7 manifests at one of these eight positions after a specified amount of rotations of the chamber. Our appr...
