GFN Prime Search Status and History

This page summarises the search history for Generalised Fermat Primes b^2^n+1, for all n >= 13 which have been searched. We record all the known primes for each n, along with notes on when each range was searched and by whom. The data has been compiled by Iain Bethune from a range of sources, including the the Top 5000 database, Yves Gallot's GFN Prime Search and PrimeGrid's own records.

It will be periodically updated, especially when new primes are found.

Quick links: n=13, n=14, n=15, n=16, n=17, n=18, n=19, n=20, n=21, n=22

In 2008, Stephen Scott reported 1 prime: 24518^262144+1, found using Proth.exe. Starting in 2011, PrimeGrid ran a single-pass search on PRPNet, using Genefer, LLR and PFGW, and found the other 3 primes. A full double-check of this range by PrimeGrid using Genefer on BOINC was completed in August 2015.
525094 676754 773620	This range has been searched by PrimeGrid partly on PRPNet using Genefer, LLR and PFGW and partly on BOINC using Genefer. A total of 3 primes were found A full double-check of this range by PrimeGrid using Genefer on BOINC was completed in August 2015.
