أطول عدد أولي معروف

أطول عدد أولي معروف (اعتبارا من نوفمبر 2022) هو 282,589,933 − 1, a number which has 24,862,048 digits when written in base 10. It was found via a computer volunteered by Patrick Laroche of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) in 2018.[1]

A 2020 plot of the number of digits in largest known prime by year, since the electronic computer. The vertical scale is logarithmic.

A prime number is a positive integer, excluding 1, with no divisors other than 1 and itself. According to Euclid's theorem there are infinitely many prime numbers, so there is no largest prime.

Many of the largest known primes are Mersenne primes, numbers that are one less than a power of two, because they can utilise a specialised primality test that is faster than the general one. اعتبارا من نوفمبر 2022, the eight largest known primes are Mersenne primes.[2] The last seventeen record primes were Mersenne primes.[3][4] The binary representation of any Mersenne prime is composed of all 1's, since the binary form of 2k − 1 is simply k 1's.[5]

الجوائز

There are several prizes offered by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for record primes.[7] A prime with one million digits was found in 1999, earning the discoverer a US$50,000 prize.[8] In 2008, a ten-million digit prime won a US$100,000 prize and a Cooperative Computing Award from the EFF.[7] Time called this prime the 29th top invention of 2008.[9]

Both of these primes were discovered through the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), which coordinates long-range search efforts among tens of thousands of computers and thousands of volunteers. The $50,000 prize went to the discoverer and the $100,000 prize went GIMPS. GIMPS will split the US$150,000 prize for the first prime of over 100 million digits with the winning participant. A further prize is offered for the first prime with at least one billion digits.[7]

GIMPS also offers a US$3,000 research discovery award for participants who discover a new Mersenne prime of less than 100 million digits.[10]
