Sierpinski Number
In number theory, a Sierpinski or Sierpiński number is an odd natural number k such that k2n + 1 is composite, for all natural numbers n; in 1960, Wacław Sierpiński proved that there are infinitely many odd integers k which have this property.
In other words, when k is a Sierpinski number, all members of the following set are composite:
Numbers in such a set with odd k and k < 2n are Proth numbers.

Famous quotes containing the word number:
“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
