Binary values expressed as polynomials can readily be manipulated using the rules of binary arithmetic.
The table below shows all prime polynomials from 2..511. (note these do not always correspond to the prime integers!). Try the LRS link to see the corresponding Linear Recursive Sequence. Polynomials leading to maximum length sequences are shown highlighted. For larger numbers, try the Online Factoring Tool
