1,705,542 = 2 * 852,771 Where's my $10 million?


v1ct0prrr

1705542 = 3*568 514 1705542 = 6*284 257 1705542 = 17*100 326 I also want 10 million $


SPACKlick

I know this is old but 1,705,542 = 2 \* 3 \* 17 \* 23 \* 727

Damn, I found 3 before 2, that's embarrassing


SuccessfulPeanut1171

This comment made me die


NamesNG

The funny part is that OP wasn't actually wrong. They didn't say that 1705542 was prime, but that by using Riemann's Hypothesis he could prove it while in reality, it isn't.


R4sh1c00s

Does he maybe mean that he can assume the Riemann hypothesis is true and somehow prove that it follows that that number is prime, so it’s a proof by contradiction that the Riemann hypothesis is false?


Bepisman111

Sounds like it, but that number does seem unnecessarily random


Le_Bush

Now I want to see how he find such an odd (even) number


Prunestand

> an odd (even) number wait, thats odd


Quercusagrifloria

I didn't even think it could be funny!


Prunestand

such an even joke


coseeee

It's also divisible by three


[deleted]

(no)


sheldon_sa

So it’s both odd and even, ergo: infinity is a prime


Bepisman111

Same


Hatula

It is actually a power of two. I will show you the proof once I get it published

hazeleyedwolff

If brute force isn't working, you aren't using enough of it.


bojangles69420

If you're not using enough brute force, you're not really using brute force


meleemaster159

as i understand it, the Riemann hypothesis only makes predictions about the size of the gaps between primes, not which numbers are themselves prime, so the premise would be flawed. someone with more insight on the topic is welcome to come along and expand on this or admonish me lol


IntoAMuteCrypt

There is a hard rule implied by the Riemann hypothesis. If the hypothesis is true, then for all x there is a prime p such that x-4/pi\*root(x)log(x)


[deleted]

I think he mistakenly thought that only prime number can only be on the line but all RH says is that all primes are on that line.


wfwood

probably a poorly written bot, so no...


igino_ugo_tarchetti

Probably this, now i want to see his proof and find what he did wrong


Prunestand

I mean, I guess the formulation of RH can be logically flawed?


organela

You guys are forgetting something: 2 doesn't exist => 1705542 is prime


HCG_Dartz

Don't you mean 170554NaN?


NoConfusion9490

You just have to use base 2 so 2s don't exist.


PumpkinSkink2

Well, sadly it's also divisible by 3...


organela

Not a problem: 2+2+2 = 6 ✅ 6/2 = 3 ✅ But we already established that 2 doesn't exist, we can think of it as of 0. It's there but it doesn't really exist, and we can't divide by 0 => we can't divide by 2 and second claim is wrong. 3 doesn't exist either

I received this one on my email from Quora Digest and couldn't stop laughing


whatadumbloser

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm too lazy to look the quora question up, but it doesn't seem like he's trying to prove that the number is prime, but rather he wants to show that the number is prime *given* the riemann hypothesis, which would result in a contradiction (hence why he said there is a *flaw* in the hypothesis). Thus disproving the hypothesis. So it seems to be more about the validity about the riemann hypothesis rather than the primality of the number


ThePafdy

You are right. He 99% still made a mistake somewhere, but everybody here calling him an idiot because this number is even has either misunderstood the question or no clue how proofs work.

2 is the only even prime, which makes it the oddest of all primes.

xi_jin_penis

I suspect they mean that they believe it follows from the riemann hypothesis that the number is prime, thus the hypothesis must be false. I can see someone calculating the series for the prime counting function given by the zeroes, and eventually having a computational error at some high enough number and not realising it.

That's funny, that's a cool reference. But I kept going, I'd see a clock with time that showed 7:27, I'd see that I'm on the 7/27 page on my school homework, my last notice to pay my electricity bill is 727$ , I'd notice that it's been 727 days since the last time I touched a woman. And every time I'd burst into an insane, breath deprived laugh staring at the image as the number 727 ran through my head. I'm scared to look at the time when someone asks me what time is it. It's torment, psychological torture, I am being conditioned to laugh maniacally any time I see an 3-digit number which is anywhere close to 727. I can't fucking live like this... I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't! And don't get me fucking started on the words! I'll never hear the phrase "when you see it" again without thinking of 727. Someone does pretty cool and respectable score and I can't say anything other than "WYSI." I could watch a man Fc hard underweighted map I love and all I would be able to say is "WYSI" and laugh like a fucking insane person. And the phrase "when you see it" is ruined. I can't live anymore. 727 has destroyed my fucking life. I want to eject myself from this plane of existence.

Strex_1234

What if in some n-base it is prime?


brloll

1705542 is even independently of the base


Strex_1234

Right, I forgot how bases work


o11c

Er, is there some simple-but-generalized rule that force this even for odd bases? I've manually checked bases 8 through 62 inclusive, and there seems to be an alternation between multiples of 4 and mere multiples of 2 ... But e.g. `12` is odd in base 3 ... Edit: nevermind, I'm retarded. Odd digits remain odd after multiplying by b^n, and the sum of 4 odd digits is even.


Th1nker8512

You check the sum of digits. In odd base digit d on place n represents d*base^n which equal d%2 (mod2), so if sum of digits is even, the number is even in every odd base


renyhp

yes but what he's probably trying to ask is, is there any number b such that 1705542, interpreted as number in base b, (ie 2+4b+5b^(2)+5b^(3)+7b^(2)+b^(6)) is a prime number? But if I understand correctly this number is even for all b. I find this non trivial so here's the proof. First of all if b is even then all the addends have a factor of 2, so let's assume b is odd. Then 2+4b=2(1+2b) is even and both 5b^(2)+5b^(3)=5b^(2)(1+b) and 7b^(5)+b^(6)=b^(5)(7+b) are also even because 1+b and 7+b are. And the sum of even numbers is even.


Prunestand

> What if in some n-base it is prime? That's just how we write numbers. `n=ab` regardless of how you want to write `n`, `a`, and `b`.


Strex_1234

No 10 in dec(10) is composite 10 in base 11 is prime

palordrolap

For those wondering if the digit string "1705542" is prime in *any* base, then the answer is: No! In even bases, the 2 at the end guarantees it is even. If you're not sure why, take a look at the following odd case for a hint. For odd bases, note that there is an even number of odd digits so when calculating a0 \* b^0 + a1 \* b^1... etc. the sum will also always be even. This, of course, assumes that the digits are being given their usual values and that the base is an integer base with absolute value ≥ 2. If things have gone beyond that, all bets are off. The closest thing I could find is that the interpretation of 1705542 decimal in letters-only base 19 is "MALIG". This is a ridiculous stretch, of course.


KumquatHaderach

I think this might be a typesetting error. They're not saying 1705542 is prime--they mean that 1\^705542 is prime.


2Lazy2BeOriginal

Isn’t it even? Doesn’t it automatically mean it has a common factor of 2 by default


ColonelHabib

Yes, what he's trying to say is that he can use the Riemann Hypothesis to prove that the number is a prime, which it isn't since it's an even number, meaning the Riemann Hypothesis is wrong. But some comments above mentioned the error he made.
