Prime numbers, by definition, are integers that could not be decomposed into two new numbers. In Number theory, a prime number P is an integer that has just two divisors: 1 and P. There is no known sequence in mathematics that could describe the chain of prime numbers. A long period ago, Mathematicians had a lot of challenges to prove that a number is prime. Moreover, a mathematician now could do new research that could be published in great journals just if he found a new prime number! The largest known prime number till now (May 2022) is the number 2^{82,589,933 }− 1, which has 24,862,048 d ..read more
