Amateur mathematician discovers largest known prime number with 41 million digits

[Variety_Pullayya]

Mr Durant’s attempt required the use of thousands of graphics processing units spread across 24 data centres in 17 countries.

The amateur mathematician found the new largest prime number dubbed “M136279841”, calculated by multiplying together 136,279,841 twos, and then subtracting 1.

The number, 2 to the power 136,279,841 – 1, is over 16 million digits larger than the previous one.

well thats his passion. dont even know how much money he has...

but his name will be forever in the list of ppl who discovered the largest prime. last one was back in 2018.

there is a cash prize too

The number, 2136,279,841 – 1, is over 16 million digits larger than the previous one.

It is 2 to the power of 136,279,841 -1.

Prime numbers ki chaala uses untaayi. Most modern cryptographic algorithms are based on the factorization of larger prime numbers.

[kevinUsa]

The number is extremely large and exceeds the limit for direct integer handling in this environment. If you're trying to compute it for theoretical or cryptographic reasons, this number is in the domain of Mersenne primes, and specialized algorithms and software like GMP or dedicated prime-checking programs are typically used to handle such large numbers.

 

Would you like me to assist you with any other calculations or information?
