Constructing the $\mathbf{2^{2^5} + 1 = F_5}$-gon, the first step: the 641-gon
Abstract
In an article, S. Adlaj showed the construction of the $F_4 = 65\,537$-gon ($F_4$ a Fermat prime). By extending the author's method to cases where the multiplicative group is not of order $2^n$ but has an additional prime factor, I here construct the $641$-gon. $641$ is the smaller prime factor of the composite Fermat number $F_5 = 2^{2^5} + 1$.
