  1. $6n+1$ and $6n-1$ prime format - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    I recently stumbled upon a fact that all prime numbers past $3$ are of the form either $6n-1$ or $6n+1$. Is it true? at least for numbers less than $10^9$. And does it cover all primes?

  2. elementary number theory - Infinitely many primes of the form $6n - 1 ...

    Jan 24, 2015 · Prove there are infinitely many primes of the form 6n − 1 6 n 1 with the following: (i) Prove that the product of two numbers of the form 6n + 1 6 n + 1 is also of that form. That is, show …

  3. Show that every prime $p>3$ is either of the form $6n+1$ or of the …

    We have shown that an integer m> 3 m> 3 of the form 6n 6 n or 6n + 2 6 n + 2 or 6n + 3 6 n + 3 or 6n + 4 6 n + 4 cannot be prime. That leaves as the only candidates for primality greater than 3 3 integers …

  4. Prove that there are infinitely many primes of the form $6n + 5$

    5 Note that the only primes not of the form 6n ± 1 6 n ± 1 are 2 2 and 3 3. A number of the form 6n + 5 6 n + 5 is not divisible by 2 2 or 3 3.

  5. Proving $6^n - 1$ is always divisible by $5$ by induction

    Apr 17, 2015 · Proving 6n − 1 6 n 1 is always divisible by 5 5 by induction Ask Question Asked 10 years, 9 months ago Modified 1 year, 10 months ago

  6. Always prime? $6n+1$ and/or $6n-1$, if neither divisible by $5$ nor ...

    Feb 4, 2020 · Here it is: "It seems that the sequence of all integers N that are either 6n+1 or 6n−1 are all primes if N is neither divisible by 5 nor the product of primes greater than or equal to 7. Further it …

  7. Is the representation of any prime of the form $6n+1$ as $a^2+3b^2 ...

    Sep 30, 2020 · Looking at the Mathworld entries on these theorems here and here, I notice that representation of primes of the form $4n+1$ is stated to be unique (up to order), but that there is no …

  8. primality test - Euler's theorem to validate prime numbers shows non ...

    6n = 149 - 1 n = 148 / 6 n = 24.666~7 6n - 1 = 149 6n = 149 + 1 n = 150 / 6 n = 25 If you notice both pass Euler's test under the evaluation of 6n-1. Am I oversimplifying Euler's theorem as used in so …

  9. proof by induction that $4^n + 6n -1$ is a multiple of 9

    Mar 26, 2023 · proof by induction that 4n + 6n − 1 4 n + 6 n 1 is a multiple of 9 [duplicate] Ask Question Asked 2 years, 9 months ago Modified 2 years, 9 months ago

  10. How to choose a special modulus to show that $6n^3 +3 = m^6$ has …

    May 28, 2020 · I was stuck on a problem from Mathematical Circles: Russian Experience, which reads as follows: Prove that the number $6n^3 + 3$ cannot be a perfect sixth power of an integer for any …
