Hello! Can you help me identify a prime number?

This prime is used for something and I'd like to know more about it, feel free to add details/trivia/factoids of any attributes you recognize.
A prime number is any whole number that can only be divided by itself or 1 to produce a whole number result, except 1 itself (although 1 used to be considered a prime number).
The specific prime number you gave is the Fermat prime of order 12, the largest known Fermat prime. Fermat primes are equal to 2^(2^n)+1.
It was discovered in 1996 by a computer program called Proth.exe, written by Yves Gallot.
It is now used in elliptic curve cryptography, for securing online transactions.
Why is it called A Fermat prime and where did that equation come from?
The term Fermat prime is named after the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat, who studied prime numbers in the 17th century. Fermat conjectured that all numbers of the form 2^(2^n) + 1 are prime numbers, which are now known as Fermat numbers. However, this conjecture was later proven to be false when Leonhard Euler discovered that 2^32 + 1 is composite, disproving Fermat's conjecture.

The specific equation 2^(2^n) + 1 that defines Fermat primes comes from Fermat's observation that the first five numbers of this form, when n=0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, are prime numbers: 3, 5, 17, 257, and 65537, respectively. However, the next number in this sequence, when n=5, is not a prime number, and in fact, no other Fermat numbers are known to be prime for larger values of n.

Despite Fermat's conjecture being proven false, the search for Fermat primes still continues, as they have important applications in number theory and cryptography.
