The paper by Kaoru Motose starts as follows: "Let q be a prime divisor of a Mersenne number 2^p-1 where p is prime. Then p is the order of 2 (mod q). Thus p is a divisor of q - 1 and q > p. This shows that there exist infinitely many prime numbers." - Pieter Moree, Oct 14 2004
Step 1: First create a list of numbers from 2 to 100 as shown above. We leave the number 1 because all prime numbers are more than 1. Step 2: We start from the first number 2 in the list. We cross out every number which is a multiple of 2 except 2. For example, we cross 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and so on up to 100.Q.1: From the list of prime numbers 1 to 1000 given above, find if 825 is a prime number or not? Solution: The list of prime numbers from 1 to 1000 does not include 825 as a prime number. It is a composite number since it has more than two factors. We can confirm this by prime factorisation of 825 also. Prime Factorization of 825 = 3 1 × 5 2
