Continued thread

Update: overnight it found a 17828-digit prime number, a new personal best!

I can see why most primes found are found with easy-to-write formulae like (2^p)-1 or (k^2^n)+1. Ttrying to go backwards – coming up with a compact formula to represent a really huge prime made up of random digits like this one, is really tricky.

Just for fun, I wrote a Python program to start with a random decimal digit, and keep adding the decimal digit until it reaches a prime number.

I'm excited to share it's found a 10997-digit long prime number, which is my new personal best largest prime! It's larger than the 37th factorial prime (3507!-1) which is 10912 digits.

I'll leave the program running overnight to see if it can find longer ones! :MOULE_Happy:
