Supersingular prime (moonshine theory) Supersingular prime (moonshine theory) In the mathematical branch of moonshine theory, a supersingular prime is a prime number that divides the order of the Monster group "M", which is the largest sporadic simple group. There are precisely fifteen supersingular prime numbers: the first eleven primes (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31), as well as 41, 47, 59, and 71. The non-supersingular primes are 37, 43, 53, 61, 67, and any prime number greater than or equal to 73. All supersingular primes are Chen primes, but 37, 53, and 67 are also Chen primes, and
17 (number) 17 (number) 17 (seventeen) is the natural number following 16 and preceding 18. It is a prime number. In English speech, the numbers 17 and 70 are sometimes confused, as they sound very similar. The number 17 has wide significance in pure mathematics, as well as in applied sciences, law, music, religion, sports, and other cultural phenomena. Seventeen is the sum of the first four prime numbers. Seventeen is the seventh prime number. The next prime is nineteen, with which it forms a twin prime. Seventeen is a permutable prime and a supersingular prime. Seventeen is the third Fermat prime,
