Comment by Idaho Spud on February 5, 2013 at 12:17pm: The largest known prime number has just shot up to 2^57,885,161 - 1, breaking a four-year dry spell in the search for new, ever-larger primes.

The new prime, which has over 17 million digits, is only the 48th Mersenne prime ever found and the 14th discovered by GIMPS.

*Though there are an infinite number of primes, there is no formula for generating these numbers, so discovering them requires intensive computation. GIMPS uses volunteers' computers to sift through each prime-number candidate in turn, until eventually one lucky user discovers a new prime.
