- これを読めば、2倍して1増やすことで、いつかは合成数になるという証明ができそう。
p and 2p + 1 are both prime (meaning that p is a Sophie Germain prime)
if p = 3 (mod 4) and p > 3, then the prime 2p+1 divides the Mersenne number Mp.
Example: 11 and 23 are both prime, and 11 = 2 × 4 + 3, so 23 divides 211 − 1.
Proof: Let q be 2p + 1. By Fermat's little theorem, 22p ≡ 1 (mod q), so either 2p ≡ 1 (mod q) or 2p ≡ −1 (mod q).
Supposing latter true, then 2p + 1 = (21/2(p + 1))2 ≡ −2 (mod q), so −2 would be a quadratic residue mod q. However, since p is congruent to 3 (mod 4), q is congruent to 7 (mod 8) and therefore 2 is a quadratic residue mod q. Also since q is congruent to 3 (mod 4), −1 is a quadratic nonresidue mod q, so −2 is the product of a residue and a nonresidue and hence it is a nonresidue, which is a contradiction.
Hence, the former congruence must be true and 2p + 1 divides Mp.
p and 2p+1 are Sophie Germain primes if and only if p is prime and 2^(2p) == 1 (mod 2p+1).

Euler and Lagrange proved that if we also have p = 3 (mod 4) and p > 3, then 2p+1 is prime (and p is a Sophie Germain prime) if and only if 2p+1 divides the Mersenne Mp.
