Find irreducible binary polynomial of degree 5

163 Views Asked by At

I'm trying a brute force approach, evaluating every single polynomial of degree 5. I was decomposing them using Ruffini in order to check if they are irriducible.

With this approach for example $x^5+x^4+1$ seems irreducible, but from the table it's not...

Is this approach valid? There is some better methods?
