a new fact

This won't be everyones idea of a great blog, but I was very interested to hear about this news.
A team of scientist have discovered a new highest known prime number. The number itself excists out of more then 17 million digits. The former highest prime number that was discovered in 2008 "only" holds 12.978.189 digits.

An amazing fact that might not be known by many is..
Any even number you can think of could be reached by adding 2 prime numbers together. For example.. 4=1+3
8=3+5... and that should be the case for all even numbers. So give it a try and search for the exception.. good luck.

Simmo millions is like penny's to these corps and there mantra is more, more, more. not the 70s disco song mind laugh
if we add the result of multiplication of number 9 always get the same 9..
9x2 =18 ->1+8=9 9x5=45 ->4+5=9 9x8=72 ->7+2=9
9x3 =27 ->2+7=9 9x6=54 ->5+4=9 9x9=81 ->8+1=9
9x4 =36 ->3+6=9 9x7=63 ->6+3=9

except multiply with 0 of course...
2 is the only even prime number, Non...
if we add the same odd number, we will always get even number, Ted..

I hope you are a warrior of light wave
Anyway what is the use of that number?
I'm starting to wonder if I speak English. First of all 2 is the only even prime number. But the point I was explaining isn't the fact that when you any 2 other primes together you get an even number. Adding any 2 odd numbers would reach that ofcourse. I was saying no matter what even number you select you should always be able to divide it into the sum of 2 prime numbers.

Cyn.... I really like number 9.
Another fun thing...
I am 35 years now... And person x is 53 now... Notice how his numbers are reversed. This will happen again every 11 years. The number 9 plays an amazing part in this. If you do 53-35= 18 and then that 18/9=2.... To make it double digit 02 years will be the start of this connection between me and person x. When I was 02 he was 20, when I was 13 he was 31 and so on. It happens every 11 years.
Aisha.. Maybe you should read the articly to wich nonsmoker provided a link before.. Let me repost it for you. This will give you an idea why prime numbers are so important.
