<br />About a year ago Josh Findley discovered the 41st known Mersenne Prime, 2 to the 24,036,583th power minus 1. <br /><br />The amazing value is nearly a million digits larger than the last "new" prime and is now the largest known prime number! <br /><br />Hope that helps<br /><br />--A3K<br /><br />

There are an infinite number of prime numbers.<br /><br />The hard part is figuring out which numbers they are.
