Abstract
We develop a simple test as an extension of Proth's test for the primality for , . This allows for the determination of large, non-Sierpinski primes and the smallest such that is prime. If is a non-Sierpinski prime, then for all where passes the initial test, is prime with as a primitive root or is primover and divides the base Fermat Number, . We determine the form the factors of any composite overpseudoprime that passes the initial test take by determining the form that factors of take.
