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) as it is of the form 2 + 1, specifically with "n" = 2. Since 17 is a Fermat prime, regular heptadecagons can be constructed with a compass and unmarked ruler. This was proven by Carl Friedrich Gauss. There are exactly 17 two-dimensional space (plane symmetry) groups. These are sometimes called wallpaper groups, as they represent the seventeen possible symmetry types that can be used for wallpaper. Like 41, the number 17 is a prime that yields primes in the polynomial "n" + "n" + "p", for all positive "n" < "p" − 1. Either 16 or 18 unit squares
