People at UCLA (university of california, los angeles) have discovered a 13 million-digit prime number. Are people this jobless that they are still finding prime numbers!! and they say we are lukin for the next 1. what is wrong with this people. i wish real mathematicians stopped finding bigger prime numbers n die and started teaching in our insti.
info for interested junta:
1. they had used 75 computers in a network running windows xp for 1 mnth to find the number.
2. they have won a prize money of 1,00,000$. ( i hope this is th cause they were onto findin sch a nmbr)
3.it is the 46th Mersenne prime number.
Mersenne prime number: 2^P - 1 shud be a prime where P is a prime. (for the new prime P = 43,112,609)
underused computing power is used to make the calculations.
