Solve the problem.Fermat conjectured that the formula 22n + 1 would always produce a prime for any whole number n. The sixth Fermat number is 225 + 1. Evaluate this number. In seeking possible prime factors of this Fermat number, what is the largest potential prime factor that one would have to try?
What will be an ideal response?
Sixth Fermat number = 4,294,967,297.
Largest potential prime factor that one would have to try = 65,521.
