What is the largest prime number less than 100?
100 (number) the first nine prime numbers, as well as the sum of some pairs of prime numbers e.g., 3 + 97, 11 + 89, 17 + 83, 29 + 71, 41 + 59, and 47 + 53. 100 is the sum of the cubes of the first four integers (100 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4). This is related by Nicomachus's theorem to the fact that 100 also equals the square of the sum of the first four integers: . 2 + 6 = 100, thus 100 is a Leyland number. 100 is an 18-gonal number. It is divisible
Largest known prime number Largest known prime number The largest known prime number () is 2 − 1, a number with 23,249,425 digits. It was found by the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) in 2017. Euclid proved that there is no largest prime number, and many mathematicians and hobbyists continue to search for large prime numbers. Many of the largest known primes are Mersenne primes. , the seven largest known primes are Mersenne primes. The last sixteen record primes were Mersenne primes. The fast Fourier transform implementation of the Lucas–Lehmer primality test for Mersenne numbers is fast compared to other known primality tests
