Don't forget the multiply by 100 :-) Or, more possibly, we're talking about the exponents here... :-P /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ ___ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime

ACTUALLY " a mere" 141,125 digits gives us 10^141,12500 % But tha't par for the course: Even if the exponents were "twun primes" the number would srill be ~400% greater. --- On Fri, 6/12/09, david eddy wrote: From: david eddy Subject: Re: [Prime] It's official - 47th Mersenne Prime found To: "The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search lis" Date: Friday, June 12, 2009, 10:18 PM > Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:45:33 -0400 > From: wolt...@alum.mit.edu > Percentage-wise > M42643801 and M43112609 is the shortest gap between Mersenne primes. Hmm. A "mere" 141,125 digits gives us 10^141,125 % :) _ With Windows Live, you can organise, edit, and share your photos. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665338/direct/01/ ___ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime ___ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime

I think George was referring to the exponent... :-) > A "mere" 141,125 digits gives us 10^141,125 % ___ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
