GIMPS 10'th prime
 

Gimps tenth prime looks to be underway...
Wondering if it gets to 10M digits...

(Oh boy... how long would it take us to get there...)

Oh, not long at all... Maybe 20 or 30 years :whistle:

Ah... statistically I should be alive by then :)

I don't know... in 20 years doing the entire range 0 <= n < = 14,306,000 for the remaining k's will probably take less than a month...:flex:

Maybe so, but we still need to find a PRIME then :>
might be that the first one we encounter above 10M digits will be 20M digits long...

Congrats to GIMPS with the new world record prime!

Well they missed the 10M digit. So maybe we could still be there first :lol:
