      One of my best techniques was to USe 2n-1 theory
      Where n has some specific values
      As other than 2 every prime is odd 😀👍

    You should point out that GIMPS is the software that every large mersenne prime since 1996 has been found with. So while Nayan Hajratwala found a 2 million digit mersenne prime in 1999 it is credited as GIMPS and him. Furthermore while their software license is "free" if you find that >= 100 million digit prime then you'll only be given 50k out of the 150k prize. There is other software for Mersenne prime calculation that does not seem to have this fee.

    Great video but small correction: a power of two in binary is a string of 0s with a 1 at the beginning.
    And any number 1 less than a power of two is a string of 1s (with no 0 at the end).

    Well, guess what? So far, of my computation, 999, 999, 997 is the largest 9 digit prime number to exist. It is very easy to verify that this number is prime which takes only 10 seconds to do it.

    A formula for the (n-1)th prime
    The (n-1)th prime is found by:
    1 + ((2 to the nth) over Sum (i=1)) of
    ((n/((i over Sum (j=1)) of (((cosine pi)(((j-1)!+1)/j))squared)))to 1/n)
