A Cargo Company Employee Finds the Largest Prime Number Calculable.

in #cargo7 years ago

A cargo worker at FedEx reached a prime number of 23 million units at home with his computer.
To briefly describe our readers who are ill with the elementary school mathematics, it is called a prime number with a numerical value that gives a fractional result when it is divided by one and the numbers outside it. For example, numbers 2,3,5,7,11 are prime numbers. If we take the number 3, we divide it by 1 and divide by 3 and give 1 whole numbers. However, if we want to divide by 2, 3 is a prime number because a fractional result such as 1.5 is produced.

There are a few important points that make it interesting to calculate the prime number "M77232917". A person working for a FedEx cargo company calculated this number in 3 days using a computer with an Intel Core i5-6600 processor. Normally the greatest prime number is tried to be constantly computed with supercomputers, but it is a great success for this guy to reach a higher number using a bad computer.
