300 (number) nontotient. 315 = 3 × 5 × 7. 315 is a Harshad number 316 = 2 × 79. 316 is a centered triangular number and a centered heptagonal number 317 is a prime number, Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part, Chen prime, and a strictly non-palindromic number. 317 is also shorthand for the LM317 adjustable regulator chip. It is also the area code for the Indianapolis region. 318 = 2 × 3 × 53. It is a sphenic number, nontotient, and the sum of twelve consecutive primes (7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29
Prime number numbers larger than those where trial division is practicably applicable. Methods that are restricted to specific number forms include Pépin's test for Fermat numbers (1877), Proth's theorem (around 1878), the Lucas–Lehmer primality test (originated 1856), and the generalized Lucas primality test. Since 1951 all the largest known primes have been found using these tests on computers. The search for ever larger primes has generated interest outside mathematical circles, through the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search and other distributed computing projects. The idea that prime numbers had few applications outside of pure mathematics was shattered in the 1970s when public-key cryptography
