It has been shown that 2^216091-1 is prime. If this is true, then this number is the largest known prime and the 30th known Mersenne prime. Does anyone know the: * System used * Processor time required * Multiplication method used * Names of the of the people involved I don't have access to a super computer anymore. Would someone with access to a Cray 1 or a Cyber 205 (286's need not apply) like to confirm the number? chongo <M23209> /\pp/\
