I also do what petrw1 mentions in post no. 1065. I carefully manage my DC assignments, and I've already lost some work in this latest move to organized poaching. So once again I respectfully ask everyone not to touch my assignments. Thank you.

[QUOTE=petrw1;364745]I'm interested in knowing when 10 Million digits are all DC'd.[/QUOTE]

This would not be a big project once M32582657 is double-checked, as there are fewer than 14000 larger exponents below the 10 Million digit limit that do not have known factors, and a good number of them will have been double-checked by time this milestone is reached. But maybe it would be fun to knock off the milestone of checking all exponents below M57885161 at least once first.

Up down axis is %age of exponents factored out.
Left right is the exponents, the numbers are the millions digits. The purple arrow points to 332,000,000.

You wish! RDS will all be on your head for this remark :razz:
They are only million bits.

xxx,000,000: would not the xxx represent the millions digits (like the tens or units or hundreds)?

Hehe. Bits is short for binary digits. So you are both correct (in a way). LaurV assumed decimal digits when he saw digits, and Uncwilly implied binary digits when he stated digits.

I am talking about those in the millions place. No binary in my thoughts. I am talking about the value of the exponents from 0,zzz,zzz to 999,zzz,zzz.:pancakebunny:

Like I said above, you are both talking at crossed purposes.

[edit: my reply is for Uncwilly. The (uncalled) posts of retina were crossposts :razz:]
I understood exactly what you were talking about. Here is where "not being a native speaker" actually helped me. My post was a joke, as your post made me remember a [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=271281"]long argument[/URL] I had long ago with our resident expert.
