Currently the biggest mersenne prime is: <: 2^43112609 which is a 12,978,189 decimal digits long.

In the future, I hope it will be possible. ----- Original Message Follows ----- From: Zsbán Ambrus <[email protected]> To: Programming forum <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] table of primes to 1,000,000,000 or more Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 18:40:24 +0200 >The point is, an average home computer can easily test the >primality of any one really huge number in a few moments > >Ambrus >----------------------------------------------------------- >----------- For information about J forums see >http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
