AI Thread Summary
A program to find perfect numbers using the relationship between Mersenne primes and perfect numbers is sought. The relevant formulas include Mp = 2^p - 1 for Mersenne primes and n = 0.5(Mp + 1)Mp for perfect numbers. Software for this purpose is available at mersenne.org, which appears to be a collaborative effort. The latest discovered perfect number has nearly 10 million digits, highlighting the complexity and historical significance of this mathematical problem. Users are encouraged to engage with the software and wish each other good luck in their endeavors.

hey guys anyone reply me the solution for the below problem ASAP.
can i ve a program to find the perfect numbers using this relationship
Mp=2^p-1 where Mp is the mersenne prime and p is the integer and the relationship related to perfect number is n=0.5(Mp+1)Mp=[2^(p-1) ]*((2^p)-1)

Apparently such software for this purpose does exist. http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm I think this is some kind of group effort; you work on little bits of it. The latest find has almost 10,000,000 digits, and this problem has been around for centuries, so you'll be needing a lot of Good Luck!
