Theorem	nprmmul3 48001*	Special factorization of a non-prime integer greater than 3. (Contributed by AV, 4-Apr-2026.)
⊢ (𝑁 ∈ (ℤ≥‘4) → (𝑁 ∉ ℙ ↔ (∃𝑎 ∈ (2..^𝑁)∃𝑏 ∈ (2..^𝑁)(𝑎 < 𝑏 ∧ 𝑁 = (𝑎 · 𝑏)) ∨ ∃𝑎 ∈ (2..^𝑁)𝑁 = (𝑎↑2))))
21.48.12.2  Fermat numbers At first, the (sequence of) Fermat numbers FermatNo (the 𝑛-th Fermat number is denoted as (FermatNo‘𝑛)) is defined, see df-fmtno 48003, and basic theorems are provided. Afterwards, it is shown that the first five Fermat numbers are prime, the (first) five Fermat primes, see fmtnofz04prm 48052, but that the fifth Fermat number (counting starts at 0!) is not prime, see fmtno5nprm 48058. The fourth Fermat number (i.e., the fifth Fermat prime) (FermatNo‘4) = ;;;;65537 is currently the biggest number proven to be prime in set.mm, see 65537prm 48051 (previously, it was ;;;4001, see 4001prm 17106). Another important result of this section is Goldbach's theorem goldbachth 48022, showing that two different Fermut numbers are coprime. By this, it can be proven that there is an infinite number of primes, see prminf2 48063. Finally, it is shown that every prime of the form ((2↑𝑘) + 1) must be a Fermat number (i.e., a Fermat prime), see 2pwp1prmfmtno 48065.

Let m be divisor of Fn. Then m is in the form: k*2^(n+1)+1 where k is a positive integer." Here, however, k must be a nonnegative integer, because k must be 0 to represent 1 (which is a divisor of Fn ). Historical Note: In 1747, Leonhard Paul Euler proved that a divisor of a Fermat number Fn is always in the form kx2^(n+1)+1. This was later refined to k*2^(n+2)+1 by François Édouard Anatole Lucas, see fmtnofac2 48044. (Contributed by AV, 30-Jul-2021.)

21.48.12.3  Mersenne primes "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 = 2^n-1 for some integer n. They are named after Marin Mersenne ... If n is a composite number then so is 2^n-1. Therefore, an equivalent definition of the Mersenne primes is that they are the prime numbers of the form Mp = 2^p-1 for some prime p.", see Wikipedia "Mersenne prime", 16-Aug-2021, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_prime. See also definition in [ApostolNT] p. 4. This means that if Mn = 2^n-1 is prime, than n must be prime, too, see mersenne 27204. The reverse direction is not generally valid: If p is prime, then Mp = 2^p-1 needs not be prime, e.g. M11 = 2047 = 23 x 89, see m11nprm 48076. This is an example of sgprmdvdsmersenne 48079, stating that if p with p = 3 modulo 4 (here 11) and q=2p+1 (here 23) are prime, then q divides Mp. "In number theory, a prime number p is a Sophie Germain prime if 2p+1 is also prime. The number 2p+1 associated with a Sophie Germain prime is called a safe prime.", see Wikipedia "Safe and Sophie Germain primes", 21-Aug-2021, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_and_Sophie_Germain_primes 48079. Hence, 11 is a Sophie Germain prime and 2x11+1=23 is its associated safe prime. By sfprmdvdsmersenne 48078, it is shown that if a safe prime q is congruent to 7 modulo 8, then it is a divisor of the Mersenne number with its matching Sophie Germain prime as exponent. The main result of this section, however, is the formal proof of a theorem of S. Ligh and L. Neal in "A note on Mersenne numbers", see lighneal 48086.

Theorem	139prmALT 48071	139 is a prime number. In contrast to 139prm 17085, the proof of this theorem uses 3dvds2dec 16293 for checking the divisibility by 3. Although the proof using 3dvds2dec 16293 is longer (regarding size: 1849 characters compared with 1809 for 139prm 17085), the number of essential steps is smaller (301 compared with 327 for 139prm 17085).

Theorem	31prm 48072	31 is a prime number. In contrast to 37prm 17082, the proof of this theorem is not based on the "blanket" prmlem2 17081, but on isprm7 16669. Although the checks for non-divisibility by the primes 7 to 23 are not needed, the proof is much longer (regarding size) than the proof of 37prm 17082 (1810 characters compared with 1213 for 37prm 17082). The number of essential steps, however, is much smaller (138 compared with 213 for 37prm 17082). (Contributed by AV, 17-Aug-2021.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

If P is a Proth number, i.e. a number of the form k2^n+1 with k less than 2^n, and if there exists an integer x for which x^((P-1)/2) is -1 modulo P, then P is prime. Such a prime is called a Proth prime. Like Pocklington's theorem (see pockthg 16868), Proth's theorem allows for a convenient method for verifying large primes. (Contributed by AV, 5-Jul-2020.)
