Demnach hat die größte bekannte Primzahl 6.320.430 Stellen :shock:

On February 18, 2005, Dr. Martin Nowak from Germany, found the new largest known prime number, 2^225,964,951-1. The prime number has 7,816,230 digits! It took more than 50 days of calculations on Dr. Nowak's 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 computer. The new prime was independently verified in 5 days by Tony Reix of Grenoble, France using a 16 Itanium CPU Bull NovaScale 5000 HPC running the Glucas program by Guillermo Ballester Valor of Granada, Spain. A second verification was completed by Jeff Gilchrist of Elytra Enterprises Inc. in Ottawa, Canada using 15 days of time on 12 CPUs of a Compaq Alpha GS160 1.2 GHz CPU server at SHARCNET.

On December 16th one of GIMPS' computers reported a new Mersenne prime! An independent verification is expected to complete as early as December 25th. Full details about the new prime and its discoverer will be available shortly thereafter
