Largest Known Prime Number Found
The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, a cooperative computing project, helps find a prime that has nearly 13 million digits.
I can't do it justice with the fonts available, but it is the number 2 to the power of 43,112,609, minus 1.
Cool beans.
Simply speaking 2 to the nth power minus 1.
Beautiful.
Of course, it won't be long before someone finds a bigger one so enjoy it while you can.

Thanks Cube, I'm actually nerdy enough to think this is cool. I ove these types of things, I'm a Science channel nut. As far as the number, wwe as humans don't have the capacity to fathom a number like this.
Jeez I thought my ex-girlfriends "number" was big. 'Wwe' at The Long Downward Spiral are simply amazed. You dont get this kind of education on the Basket Weaving channel.
Makes my brain hurt trying to think of the next one!
QQ
should I understand this?
ruh roh!
ohkay...*;[ color me confused.
And here I think I'm doing good to balance the ol' checkbook. ;)
I can't help but post this kind of harmless nerdy fun.
that's hot, cube.

numbers are infinite so good luck to the next person trying to top this ... pocket calculator may not be enough for that trek :s
salubrina: Yes. We're on the same page.
blankshooting: Unless you happen to have a pocket big enough to house a Cray...

I don't have to understand it to think it's cool.
