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

As a result, only 6 primes were found in this initial search.
