Lucas-Lehmer TestA Mersenne Number is prime Iff divides , where and
 | (1) |
for . The first few terms of this series are 4, 14, 194, 37634, 1416317954,... (Sloane's A003010). The remainder when is divided by is called the Lucas-Lehmer Residue for . The Lucas-Lehmer Residue is 0 Iff is Prime. This test can also be extended to arbitraryIntegers.
A generalized version of the Lucas-Lehmer test lets
 | (2) |
with the distinct Prime factors, and their respective Powers. If there exists a Lucas Sequence such that
 | (3) |
for , ..., and
 | (4) |
then is a Prime. The test is particularly simple for Mersenne Numbers, yielding the conventionalLucas-Lehmer test.See also Lucas Sequence, Mersenne Number, Rabin-Miller Strong Pseudoprime Test References
