A Question about Miller-Rabin

Revision en1, by weily, 2024-08-01 10:44:53

Hi everyone,

Generally speaking, using the sequence (2, 325, 9375, 28178, 450775, 9780504, 1795265022) as bases in the Miller-Rabin primality test is sufficient to check prime numbers below $$$2^{64}$$$.

However, this sequence is quite hard to remember. Some sources suggest using the first 12 prime numbers as bases, while others claim that the first 8 primes are enough. Unfortunately, these claims lack clear references.

I'm curious about the minimum number of $$$n$$$ if we use the first $$$n$$$ prime numbers as bases for testing primality below $$$2^{64}$$$.

Does anyone know a definitive answer or a reliable source for this?

Thank you!
