Jim,

According to this list it is not a known prime.

http://primes.utm.edu/primes/lists/all.pdf

It claims to be a list of the 5000 largest known primes.  If its not
prime I think finding the factors will be a tough job.  The site seems
to be house at the University of Tenenssee at Martin.

Subject: [PW] Math question

I have a student who needs to know if 116513 is a prime number and, if
not, what the factors are for that number.  He said the answer is in a
book he used 45 years ago entitled, Factor table for the first ten
millions containing the smallest factor of every number not
divisible.... by Derrick Norman Lehmer.  I have contacted two libraries
that own the book, but he needs an answer within 24 hours.  If any
stumper has this book in their library, I would greatly appreciate a
response.

My fax number is 816-271-4574.

Thank you.
