What is a Mersenne Prime Number?

A Mersenne Number is a number that is equal to one less than a power of 2, or (2^n-1) where n is any positive integer. Mersenne numbers are named after Marin Mersenne, a French monk.

A Mersenne Prime Number is a prime number that happens to also be a Mersenne Number. A Mersenne Prime Number will always have a value equal to (2^n-1) where n is one of a selected list of positive prime numbers.

When I discovered that there was a formula for "Mersenne" prime numbers, I wrote another program for that, which gave me these results and is listed later on this page:

2^2-1 = 3
2^3-1 = 7
2^5-1 = 31
2^7-1 = 127
2^13-1 = 8191
2^17-1 = 131,071
2^19-1 = 524,287
2^31-1 = 2,147,483,647

As mentioned above, every known "perfect number" can be generated from a "Mersenne prime". If (2^n-1) describes a "Mersenne prime," then the matching "perfect number" is equal to:

2 ^ (n-1) * ( 2^n - 1)

where n = 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31 or other "mersenne" exponents. All of the known "Mersenne" exponents are listed in one of the sections above.

Can we prove that every "Mersenne Prime Number" can generate a corresponding Perfect number? Yes, we can.

Can we prove that every possible "perfect" number can be generated from a "Mersenne" prime? No, we cannot. (I'm hoping that someday someone will find an ODD "perfect" number, and an odd "perfect" number can NOT come from a "Mersenne" prime.)
