Pervushin's number is \(2,305,843,009,213,693,951 = 2^{61}-1\), the ninth Mersenne prime. It is traditionally denoted as \(M(61)\).
This number was first proven to be prime by Ivan Mikheevich Pervushin in November of 1883 (hence the designation of Pervushin's number).[1] At the time of its discovery, it was the second largest known prime, holding that position until 1911.
The number 61 is one of only nine known numbers holding all three conditions of the New Mersenne conjecture.
