PrimePages. The PrimePages is a website about prime numbers originally created by Chris Caldwell at the University of Tennessee at Martin [2] who maintained it from 1994 to 2023. The site maintains the list of the "5,000 largest known primes", selected smaller primes of special forms, and many "top twenty" lists for primes of various forms.

A prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. By Euclid's theorem , there are an infinite number of prime numbers. Subsets of the prime numbers may be generated with various formulas for primes .
The following table lists the progression of the largest known prime number in ascending order. Here M p = 2 p − 1 is the Mersenne number with exponent p, where p is a prime number. The longest record-holder known was M 19 = 524,287, which was the largest known prime for 144 years. No records are known prior to 1456.
Mersenne primes and perfect numbers are two deeply interlinked types of natural numbers in number theory. Mersenne primes, named after the friar Marin Mersenne, are prime numbers that can be expressed as 2p − 1 for some positive integer p. For example, 3 is a Mersenne prime as it is a prime number and is expressible as 22 − 1.
Megaprime. A megaprime is a prime number with at least one million decimal digits. [1] Other terms for large primes include "titanic prime", coined by Samuel Yates in the 1980s for a prime with at least 1000 digits [2] (of which the smallest is 10 999 +7), [3] and "gigantic prime" for a prime with at least 10,000 digits [4] (of which the ...
