A newly discovered prime number has broken the record for the largest ever found, coming in at a whopping 23,249,425 digits. It is called M77232917, and it’s the 50th prime number of its type ever discovered.
It is called a Mersenne prime, which is found by multiplying twos together many times, and subtracting one from the final number. M77232917 was found by multiplying 77,232,917 twos, and then subtracting one. That puts it nearly one million digits higher than the previous largest prime number, and also a mersenne prime.
HISTORY OF THE NUMBER LINE AND THE NUMBER NEXT TO INFINITY
A Brief Definition: A number line is a graphically represented set of numbers going infinitely in a positive or negative direction starting from zero and onwards.
The number line was created by John Wallis (1616 - 1703), an English mathematician that was investigating negative numbers during his time period. He had created this line to represent negative numbers in a simple manner.
LESSONS FROM THE NUMBER LINE
The number line starts from negative (-) Infinity to positive (+) Infinity showing that it has no definite beginning neither does it have an end.
Just like the Number line, the Bible describes God as the Alpha and Omega (“I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is and was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Rev 1 : 8 ”)
The Number Line can be understood by studying the numbers in it and from it we can deduce some methods of calculations and also solve problems, but in all these we still can’t comprehend the whole numbers.
This is also applicable to God; studying the word of God brings us closer to God and through the wisdom in His word we solve lots of life’s problems but in all we still can’t comprehend the whole Nature of God.
Finally, the numbers in the number line are situated in two different directions, some to the negative while others to the positive direction depending on the sign before them.
By the marks that we as God’s creation bear, we get closer to the number before infinity either in the positive or the negative direction.
