Hace 9 horas · The discovery marks only the 41st known Mersenne prime, named after Marin Mersenne, a 17th century French monk who first studied the rare numbers 300 years ago. Mersenne primes are most relevant to number theory, but most participants join GIMPS simply for the fun of having a role in real research – and the chance of finding a new ...
Hace 1 día · It is only the 48th known Mersenne prime ever discovered, each increasingly difficult to find. Mersenne primes were named for the French monk Marin Mersenne, who studied these numbers more than 350 years ago. GIMPS, founded in 1996, has discovered all 14 of the largest known Mersenne primes.
18 de mar. de 2024 · A Mersenne prime is a prime number of the form 2 p -1. The first Mersenne primes are 3, 7, 31, and 127 corresponding to P = 2, 3, 5, and 7 respectively. There are only 44 known Mersenne primes . Mersenne primes have been central to number theory since they were first discussed by Euclid in 350 BC.
