Talk:List of Mersenne primes and perfect numbers

Why?
Why isn't this a section of perfect number? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.17.53 (talk) 17:20, 18 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Because this is a long list, and people looking specifically for a list of the perfect numbers shouldn't have to look through the whole perfect numbers article. Gug01 (talk) 20:47, 25 November 2014 (UTC)


 * It isn't that much of a long list(and it is not likely to be increasing often), and surely it is simple for people to reach the list in the article by simply clicking on the table index link or scoling down to where the numbers table is. 195.188.87.3 (talk) 08:43, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of perfect numbers. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20090503154707/http://amicable.homepage.dk/perfect.htm to http://amicable.homepage.dk/perfect.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Outside source with the ENTIRE numbers?
Greetings.

I'm curious as to whether there exists an outside source listing each perfect number WITHOUT ABBREVIATION. I've tried googling them, but I've only been able to find reliable sources up to the 15th one.

Possible smaller Mersenne prime??
Look at these words in the article:

Provisional ranking, as not all possible values less than this entry have been checked and verified (and therefore it could change if a smaller Mersenne prime were discovered)

The chances of this happening (any time before the exponents are all verified) are less than a percent; the way Wikipedia promotes it makes it look as if the chances were at least 10 percent. Any thoughts here?? Georgia guy (talk) 20:25, 13 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I had added it because the original list on Mersenne prime had it as well. I've deleted the note now (a similar comment was already in the prose). ev iolite   (talk)  20:34, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Mersenne prime
I disagree with moving the table of known Mersenne primes to a new article. I think the table should stay in the Mersenne prime article, because it is easier to read information in one location instead of jumping back and forth. May be the table shold be simplified, but it should stay. Best regards Szelma W (talk) 14:11, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not sure why you have posted this at three different talk pages, including at an uninvolved user's talk. Please discuss at Talk:Mersenne prime. ev iolite   (talk)  15:07, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
