11 (number) to be a Mersenne prime, the converse is not true: 2 − 1 = 2047 which is 23 × 89. 11 raised to the nth power is the nth row of Pascal's Triangle. (This works for any base, but the number eleven must be changed to the number represented as 11 in that base; for example, in duodecimal this must be done using thirteen.) 11 is a Heegner number, meaning that the ring of integers of the field formula_1 has the property of unique factorization. One consequence of this is that there exists at most one point on the elliptic
Prime number formula_18, and Marin Mersenne studied the Mersenne primes, prime numbers of the form formula_19 with formula_20 itself a prime. Christian Goldbach formulated Goldbach's conjecture, that every even number is the sum of two primes, in a 1742 letter to Euler. Euler proved Alhazen's conjecture (now the Euclid–Euler theorem) that all even perfect numbers can be constructed from Mersenne primes. He introduced methods from mathematical analysis to this area in his proofs of the infinitude of the primes and the divergence of the sum of the reciprocals of the primes formula_21. At the start of the 19th century, Legendre and Gauss
