In mathematics, the Lucas–Lehmer test (LLT) is a primality test for Mersenne
numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas%E2%80%93Lehmer_primality_test
A Mersenne number is a number that is one less than a power of two.
That is M_p = 2^p - 1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_prime
The Lucas–Lehmer test is the primality test used by the
Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) to locate large primes.
