Conway triangle notation

If just done a bunch of math notation edits on Conway triangle notation. Please notice the difference between these two things:

${\sqrt {(}}a+b)\,$

${\sqrt {a+b\,}}$

and between these two things:

$({\frac {a}{b}})$

$\left({\frac {a}{b}}\right)$

Disambiguation link notification for December 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pythagorean triple, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lattice. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Collatz number for Mersenne prime a-48

I finished calculating the Collatz number for the Mersenne prime a-48 (2^57885161-1). The value is 779044992. It took only 6039 minutes to verify. To make sure my calculation was correct, I did the first 30 Mersenne and they all matched to the list on OEIS.

I can send you the code if you want to validate it before updating the OEIS entry. Best regards. ReallyNiceGuy ^✉ 16:53, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

==Collatz steps for Mersenne Primes above a-45==

Above a-45, the ranking of Mersenne primes is provisional. So, the formal sequence of Mersenne primes is only verifiable up to a-45. Consequently, the formal sequence of Collatz steps for Mersenne primes is only verifiable up to s(a-45).

The comment section of OEIS A181777 has all 6 unranked steps for a-46 to a-51 and your value for a-48 is confirmed.
