11 (number) to be a Mersenne prime, the converse is not true: 2 − 1 = 2047 which is 23 × 89. 11 raised to the nth power is the nth row of Pascal's Triangle. (This works for any base, but the number eleven must be changed to the number represented as 11 in that base; for example, in duodecimal this must be done using thirteen.) 11 is a Heegner number, meaning that the ring of integers of the field formula_1 has the property of unique factorization. One consequence of this is that there exists at most one point on the elliptic
Largest known prime number the progression of the largest known prime number in ascending order. Here M = 2 − 1 is the Mersenne number with exponent "n". The longest record-holder known was M = 524,287, which was the largest known prime for 144 years. No records are known before 1456. GIMPS found the fourteen latest records (all of them Mersenne primes) on ordinary computers operated by participants around the world. A list of the 5,000 largest known primes is maintained by Chris K. Caldwell, of which the twenty largest are listed below. Largest known prime number The largest known prime number () is
