In mathematics, a Størmer number or arc-cotangent irreducible number, named after Carl Størmer, is a positive integer n for which the greatest prime factor of n2 + 1 meets or exceeds 2n. Fredrik Carl Mülertz Størmer ( September 3, 1874 – August 13, 1957) was a Norwegian Mathematician and Physicist The first few Størmer numbers are 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, etc. Mathematics For any number x: x ·1 = 1· x = x (1 is the multiplicative identity In mathematics Two has many properties in Mathematics. An Integer is called Even if it is divisible by 2 In mathematics Four is the smallest Composite number, its proper Divisors being and. This article discusses the number five. For the year 5 AD see 5. In mathematics Six is the second smallest Composite number, its proper Divisors being 1, 2 and 3. In mathematics Nine is a Composite number, its proper Divisors being 1 and 3. 19 ( nineteen) is the Natural number following 18 and preceding 20.

The Størmer numbers arise in connection with the problem of representing Gregory numbers ta / b as sums of Gregory numbers for integers: "To find Størmer's decomposition for ta / b, you repeatedly multiply a + bi by numbers n ± i for which n is a Størmer number and the sign is chosen so that you can cancel the corresponding prime number p (n is the smallest number for which n2 + 1 is divisible by p). The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences ( OEIS) also cited simply as Sloane's, is an extensive searchable Database of Integer sequences In Mathematics, a Gregory number, named after James Gregory, is a Real number of the form G_x = \sum_{i = 0}^\infty (-1^i \frac{1}{(2i "[1]
