Of course, these latest Mersenne primes aren't known to have been discovered in order. Good point, I'm calling it M46 because its the largest one and 46 are known. However, GIMPS classifies this number as M45 because it was discovered before what they call M46 which is only some 11*10^6 digits long. For them, the order of discovery matters as they award monetary prizes for the first to find a Mersenne Prime over a certain length. For instance, their M45 was the first over 10*10^6 digits long and won $10^5. Regards, A.
