New Prime Number Discovered
Posted on 28. Sep, 2008 by dimaks in Asides, News
The University of California Mathematicians led by Edson Smith discovered New Huge Mersenne Prime Numbers containing 13 million digits. Prime numbers by rule can only be divided by themselves and one. Smith’s team used and harnessed the unused powers of 75 interlinked computers.
For the new discovery, the California Mathematicians could be the recipient of a $100,000 prize (£54,000) set up by the Electronic Frontier Foundation to promote co-operative computing on the Internet.
Despite the embedded odds said Smith, his team is delighted and now set on the look for the next and New Prime Numbers.
Trivia: Mersenne Primes are expressed as two to the power of P, minus one – with P being itself a prime number. Source: BBC
