Large prime numbers do have one good use....
The oppurtunity to disprove the Reimann Hypothesis via example....
Though, most believe the hypothesis to be true, if one prime doesn't lie on the critical line, then.....

omg it would stretch across the USA but only if you write them on paper, but wow still crazy to think about right? i mean thats why the reporter said it right. yea this news stuff is fun yay

I do think you might enjoy the following News Flash: The Largest Prime Number has escaped. Authorities briefly had it in custody, but it shattered the jailhouse to smithereens and stalked off into the night. If you see this Mathematical Monster, you are hallucinating! Get help immediately!

Primes are fun as well as useful! In fact, they are well worth singing about!

Riemann zeta-function is based on false hypothesis to represent Prime numbers.

@tantalides mathematics and science we do not create but only study. God is creator of science and maths. Think about it we as humans cannot create anything of ourselfs but only take what is in nature and manipulate it.

@omerkha mathematics and science are far more beautiful than religion could ever try to be.

If you like prime numbers then YOU NEED TO LOOK AT PRIME NUMBERS IN THE QURAN.... AMAZING MIRACLE just one of many. Also recomend miracle of 19 aswell.
Cryptography is not interested in the largest primes, but in the fastest prime factorization algorithms. This number has absolutely no effect in the field, because we haven't even gotten to using smaller ones.
p.s. saeedo2 thumbs up

but nobody uses it that big, typical ciphers use 128-bit keys, more complicated ciphers use 256-bit and it becomes statistically impossible to deduce it, so why use a 13 million digit prime number?
