Will be writing lotso code to work with prime numbers!

 

 

Why are huge primes so danged hard to find?  Because dividing numbers that stretch into the tens of millions of digits in length takes a little while.  But still does that mean it shouldn't be done?  I think those huge numbers are just begging to be carved up into factors!  What else do they have to keep themselves busy?

 

Didja know that the first person to find a 10 million digit + prime wins $100,000 from the EFF?  It would be a long shot to imagine that my code could find it, but heck, ya gotta try, right?
