These are large numbers that are related to unsolved problems. Some of these values are subject to change, e.g. bounds on solutions.

  • If Singmaster's conjecture holds for \(N=6\), then the second smallest number that satisfies this condition in Pascal's triangle is \(61,218,182,743,304,701,891,431,482,520\approx 6.12\times 10^{28}\).[1]
  • If odd perfect numbers exist, they must be at least as large as \(10^{1500}\).[2]
  • A 2009 bound by Tao on the entries of sequences whose existence is proven by the Green-Tao theorem is that each entry is less than \(2^{2^{2^{2^{2^{2^{2^{100n}}}}}}}\)[3] for a sequence of length \(n\).
  • The cubes such that their sum isn't congruent to 4 or 5 mod 9 can be very large for small sums.
  • If they exist, counterexamples to the Collatz conjecture must be above \(2^{68}\)[4]
  • If there are only a finite number of twin primes, then the largest are at least 2996863034895×21290000-1 and 2996863034895×21290000+1.[5]
  • If the Goldbach conjecture is false, the smallest even number that cannot be written as a sum of two primes is at least 4·1018.[6]
  • There are no known odd triperfect numbers below 1050[7].
  • If the fourth Wilson prime exists, it's above \(2\times 10^{13}\)[8]
