Default Why did I get a 332M exponent

I've changed my CPU setting to receiving a LL-100M exponent, but the one I've received seems a little big. Why suddenly a huge 332+ million exponent? The LL-WR setting always gives me "normal" 80+ million exponents.

Thanks for your help.

LL-100M is 100 million digits and not 100 million bits. This category exists because the next eff prize requires finding a prime with at least 100 million digits.

100 million bits has no special significance and hence is not offered as a testable category in GIMPS

Instead of 2100,xxx,xxx - 1, the category is meant for:

2p > 10100,000,000 =>

p * log10 2 > 100,000,000 =>

p > 100,000,000 / log10 2 ~ 332,192,809
