What is special about a Mersenne prime?
A Mersenne prime has the form 2n-1. For 2n-1 to be prime, n must also be prime. Perfect numbers have the form 2n-1(2n-1) where 2n-1 is a Mersenne prime, so when a new Mersenne prime is discovered, another perfect number is also found.
What are Mersenne Primes used for?
Mersenne primes are mostly of interest as mathematical curios. A Mersenne prime has the form 2n-1. For 2n-1 to be prime, n must also be prime. Perfect numbers have the form 2n-1(2n-1) where 2n-1 is a Mersenne prime, so when a new Mersenne prime is discovered, another perfect number is also found.
Is 6.2 prime composite or n either?
Neither
What is the definition of Mersenne numbers?
A Mersenne number is a number of the form 2n-1. When this number is prime, it is known as a Mersenne prime.A Mersenne prime has the form 2n-1. For 2n-1 to be prime, n must also be prime. Examples are the Mersenne prime 7 (23 - 1 = 7) and the Mersenne prime 127 (27 - 1 = 127)
Is 6n2 plus 27 a prime number or a composite number?
Composite. It is divisible by 3 for any n.
Is 2n prime or composite?
2 is a prime number. 2 times anything but 1 is composite.

How do you make 2n prime?
make n one

How do you prove that there is a prime between n and 2n?
To be pedantic, the question should say "for all n >= 2". A detailed proof is given here: http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/51527.html The proof is quite long, but it only uses properties of logarithms, exponents, and the binomial theorem, so if you know about these and have enough mental stamina, you can probably make sense of it.

The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is the square of the product of the first and fourth prime numbers what are the two odd numbers?
Let n = smallest of the odd numbers, then let n+2 = the larger of the two numbers (Remember, 1 is not a prime number.) n+ n+2 = {(2)(7)}2 2n +2 = 142 2n = 196 -2 2n = 194 n = 97 n + 2 = 99
What is the only n number that is neither prime or composite?
It is one
Is 6n2 plus 27 a prime number or a composite number?
Composite. It is divisible by 3 for any n.
Why is two a mersenne prime?
Two is a Mersenne prime because it follows the algorithm 2n - 1 to produce the prime number 3 (22 - 1 = 4 -1 = 3).* * * * *Mersenne primes can be defined in two equivalent ways:Numbers of the form 2n - 1 where n is a primeor where the number 2n - 1 is itself a prime.The more commonly accepted definition is the second one. Thus n = 2 gives the smallest Mersenne prime, which is 3.But, since n = 2 gives a result that is prime, it is also sometimes referred to as a Mersenne prime.
