New largest prime number dicovered

[slashsnemesis]

It's so amazing to me that such a huge number isn't divisible by anything but 1 and itself.

[Map in a box]

With the Pi landmark, our circles will be so round. With the prime landmark, our numbers will be so accurate.

[POLOPOZOZO]

Awesome with this new prime number we can

[QUOTE=Riller;39487570]I've always wondered [I]why[/I] we search for the largest primes. What mathemathical significance do primes have that grant them this mysterious, white-whale sorta status for mathematicians, except for the whole division-by-itself-and-one thing. Do they do any other cool shit? Can I teach a prime to do a backflip?[/QUOTE]

They are apparently quite useful in cryptography.

Hey, guys, I just found the smallest prime number.

It's 2

Fun I guess. But no practical use whatsoever.

Why would you even do this

Wait, the post was removed, it was a page-stretcher with the ear-raping Sonic theme playing through Vimeo auto-play.

[QUOTE=Baboo00;39487344]Not an expert, but I believe this 57,885,161 bits, so 14,471,291 bytes or 13.8 mb.[/QUOTE]

There's 8 bits in one byte, so it's actually only 7MB. If you're storing the number in ascii format as base 10 digits, it'll be less efficient and take up [URL="http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=57885161+*+log10%282%29+bytes+in+MiB"]16.6MB[/URL].

[QUOTE=Rents;39487362]Someone write it out, just to see what it looks like[/QUOTE]

In binary, it's just 57,885,161 ones in a row.

Only positive numbers can be prime, it's in the definition of prime numbers

You would be surprised when you scroll down. :v:

You get $150,000 if you discover a prime with more than 100 million digits ($250,000 for one with more than a billion digits).

Wonder how many years it'll be until someone gather that prize money.

thats a lot of dosh

Wouldn't that be one? One can only be divided by one, and itself. Which is one.

Prime numbers are by definition greater than one.

Proper definition of a prime number is a number that has exactly two factors, 1 only has one.

That isn't even the end of the document, every time you get close it loads a bit more then recalculates how many pages it'll take.

If you did that it would take up a bit less than 3,000 square feet of normal printer paper.

it's over 4,000 pages long.

[QUOTE=Riller;39493661]Wouldn't that be one? One can only be divided by one, and itself. Which is one.[/QUOTE]

a prime number has to be divided by one and itself. one cannot be prime because one [i]is[/i] itself, therefore it's misleading to call one prime. zero and one are both non-prime, non-composite numbers.

[Moupi]

how exactly is this useful
i mean it's not even like a huge step in science it's just like "i HAVE found the NUMBER between 0 and INFINITY and it shares an attribute with numbers such as 7 or 13!!!!"
