    Imagine a number that is six million, three hundred twenty thousand, four hundred and thirty digits long, and would fill 1400 to 1500 pages in script, and you've got The largest known prime number

    2 to the 20,996,011th power minus 1.

    Impressive.

    Stacy, you've got too much time on your hands. You're always finding these tidbits...

    Of course, the only important number is 42. No it's not prime. But important none-the-less.

    For those of you that don't get it...

    2 x 3 x 7 = 42. 2,3,7 are all prime.

    Not that anyone other than Stacy and I would care... :p
