Dr. SMRH Moosavi has claimed that he had derived a general formula for finding the $n$ -th prime number. More details can be found here at PrimeNumbersFormula.com and a brief discussion here at Math.SE titled “Formula for the nth prime number: discovered?”

This animation image illustrates how to find prime numbers between 2 to 120. Not too mathematical this time, but sticky one. Hope you will enjoy it.

What is a Prime Number?

An integer, say $p$ , [ $\ne {0}$ & $\ne { \pm{1}}$ ] is said to be a prime integer iff its only factors (divisors) are $\pm{1}$ & $\pm{p}$ .

As?

Few easy examples are:
$\pm{2}, \pm{3}, \pm{5}, \pm{7}, \pm{11}, \pm{13}$ …….etc…this list increases upto infinity & mathematicians are trying to find the larger one than the largest, because primes numbers/integers are not symmetrical (as any one cannot guess the next prime after one.) As of now the biggest prime number found is (probably) $M-47$ , called as Mersenne 47. This has an enormous value of $2^{43112609} -1$ . It is very hard to write it on paper because it consists of $12978189$ digits.
»M47 was Invented in 2008. (more…)
