[#R563] Pocklington certificates prove both numbers in the incumbent pair prime

claim. Fully factored n-1 certificates establish primality, and q=floor(sqrt(p^3)) proves lower adjacency.

1Summary

The factorizations \[ 1587809-1=2^5\cdot29^2\cdot59 \] and \[ 2000771023-1=2\cdot3\cdot19^2\cdot337\cdot2741 \] are complete. Trial division certifies the seven prime factors. For every distinct prime divisor \(s\) of \(n-1\), the replay gives a witness \(a\) satisfying \[ a^{n-1}\equiv1\pmod n, \qquad \gcd(a^{(n-1)/s}-1,n)=1. \] Since the factored part is all of \(n-1\), Pocklington's criterion proves each \(n\) prime.

Exact integer square root gives \[ \lfloor\sqrt{1587809^3}\rfloor=2000771023. \] The certified prime \(q\) is therefore the largest integer below \(p^{3/2}\), so it is automatically the adjacent lower prime.

Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: the pair p=1587809 and q=2000771023.
