[net.math] In search of the perfect number

joey@teneron.UUCP (Joey Pruett) (05/11/84)

Hello, net world!

	I was wondering if anyone out there could send me a list of the
currently known n's for the perfect number formula 2^(n-1)*(2^n-1).
I have a program running, as I type, to calculate the latest and
greatest perfect number (n = 132049).  I want to calculate the others
as well so I can paper my room with them (sound's like fun, huh?).
Also, if someone out there has a program for 16-bit UNIX's to compute
perfect numbers, I would be interested to see how they do it.

	Hvalla Ljepo,
