Lucas cofactor

The Prime Pages keeps a list of the 5000 largest known primes, plus a few each of certain selected archivable forms and classes. These forms are defined in this collection's home page.

This page is about one of those forms.

(up) Definitions and Notes

The Lucas numbers can be defined as follows:
v1 = 1, v2 = 3 and vn+1 = vn + vn-1 (n > 2)

It can be shown that, for odd m, vn divides vnm

In the same way that we defined a Mersenne cofactor, we define a Lucas cofactor to be a proper divisor of a Lucas number with a prime index.
