Default Prime numbers on radio

I was listening to this on BBC radio 4 this morning, but unfortunately, I had to go into work Luckily, its on the 'listen again' on the BBC web site. They do, however, say that M13466917 is the largest known prime

BBC still haven't put up last thursday's 'Today'

fortunately, the item was probably only trailling the 'in out time' programme that was on later that morning. See this thread:

Default A little more up to date....

In case you missed it, 'In Our Time' with Melvyn Bragg is a podcast now, and the last one was Prime Numbers. Can be downloaded here

Interesting for the uninitiated,

Pete
