I churned out the 42th prime on prime95 2 years ago.

 

[Drizzy]

lol that is a damm big number

42th?

 

[ArmenK]

nevermind

 

[Syringer]

What's the difference?

42th?

*challenge*
pick a random set of 5 numbers, and do a search, how many times does it come up?
44010 came up 7 times

 

[ironcrotch]

i might be a math n00b, but whats the point of this? like what significance does it hold in science, significance like the gnome project?

 

[Syringer]

Hmm, I was checking over his work, looked like the 11,352 digit is off. Should be a 5 instead.

This is linked off your link, why link to the 39th?

one use is security encryption keys

Another is to say that my prime is bigger than your prime.

Did you win a prize?

 

[Deeko]

My brother just graduated as a math major...he is working on a theorem that there is an infinite number of twin primes.

 

[Kelemvor]

I always wanted to write my own prime number generator program but I haven't done programming in years. Oh well.

What's the point of using known prime numbers in encryption? Wouldn't be easier to generate a different algorithm?

well, my Prime is more powerful than yours!

Good luck with that.

well i think the prime number is used to generate an uncrackable number, don't ask me how, but there are plenty of resources out there ripe for the searching

(i'm not too interested in encryption mechanisms, i'm more of a computer graphics/database/network type guy. yes i realize encryption is highly involved in the last 2 interests of mine )

 

[Legendary]

In RSA encryption, the use of two obscenely large prime numbers plays a crucial part.

The primes used in encryption are generated.

The other guy was just saying they are used in encryption.
