The primes of the form 2n+1 are the odd primes, including all primes other than 2. Some sequences have alternate names: 4 n +1 are Pythagorean primes, 4 n +3 are the integer Gaussian primes, and 6 n +5 are the Eisenstein primes (with 2 omitted).
Therefore, every prime number other than 2 is an odd number, and is called an odd prime. [9] Similarly, when written in the usual decimal system, all prime numbers larger than 5 end in 1, 3, 7, or 9. The numbers that end with other digits are all composite: decimal numbers that end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 are even, and decimal numbers that end in 0 ...
The multiplicity of a prime which does not divide n may be called 0 or may be considered undefined. Ω(n), the prime omega function, is the number of prime factors of n counted with multiplicity (so it is the sum of all prime factor multiplicities). A prime number has Ω(n) = 1.
The following is a list of all currently known Mersenne primes and perfect numbers, along with their corresponding exponents p. As of 2023, there are 51 known Mersenne primes (and therefore perfect numbers), the largest 17 of which have been discovered by the distributed computing project Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, or GIMPS.

This category is for articles about classes (meaning subsets here) of prime numbers, for example primes generated by a particular formula or having a special property. See List of prime numbers for definitions and examples of many classes of primes.
PrimePages. The PrimePages is a website about prime numbers originally created by Chris Caldwell at the University of Tennessee at Martin [ 2] who maintained it from 1994 to 2023. The site maintains the list of the "5,000 largest known primes", selected smaller primes of special forms, and many "top twenty" lists for primes of various forms.
Formula for primes. In number theory, a formula for primes is a formula generating the prime numbers, exactly and without exception. Formulas for calculating primes do exist; however, they are computationally very slow. A number of constraints are known, showing what such a "formula" can and cannot be.
