Taking 2590-2600.

PS There are 66079 candidates remaining from n=2.6M to n=4.0M.

I calculated with a sieve limit at 200T and 66079 candidates at n=3.3M for a rough guess:

There is a chance of 18.4 percent that there is no prime at all in this range.

[QUOTE=Retep;224631]There is a chance of 18.4 percent that there is no prime at all in this range.[/QUOTE]

However I wonder what the probability is of no prime between n=605k and n=4.0M?

Possibly an extremely low probability.. however I think we should give it a try :smile:

2400-2416 and 2480-2500 completed, reserving 2600-2620.

Retep 2010-09-05 23:05

I would soon like to reserve another range of 40k or more.

(At the moment only 2620-2640 available)

amphoria 2010-09-06 18:28

2590-2600 complete, no primes.

More test files added, up to 2700k.

Happy hunting!
