Will gimps support the search for the 1,000,000,000 digit prime? How many years would it take for a PC to factor such a prime? Not long at all. If it is prime, its only factors are 1 and itself. Paul _ Unsubscribe list info --

If the PrimeNet assignments reports are to be believed, we have double-checked all exponents through 3M and proven M(2976221) and M(3021377) to be respectively the 36th and 37th primes in numeric order. Nathan Get Your

Let me rephrase something from my last message: There should be 12 non-Primenet exponents left to finish testing (if they aren't already) to prove both M(2976221) and M(3021377) are the 36th and 37th Mersenne primes, respectively... Eric

Hi, There are 19 exponents that need triple-checking. I've just assigned them to three volunteers. With luck, they'll all be finished up in a few weeks. Regards, George _ Unsubscribe list info --
