The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) is a collaborative project of volunteers who use Prime95 and MPrime computer software that can be downloaded from the Internet for free in order to search for Mersenne prime numbers.This project has been successful: it has found a total of twelve Mersenne primes, each of which except for the latest one was the largest known prime at the time of discovery. The largest known prime as of October 2008[ref] is 243,112,609 − 1 (or M43,112,609 in short).This prime was discovered on 23 August 2008, by Edson Smith at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)'s Mathematics Department.Refer to the article on Mersenne prime numbers for the complete list of GIMPS successes.All primes are in the form Mq, where q is the (prime) exponent. The prime number itself is 2q - 1, so the largest prime number in this table is 243112609 - 1.

Mn is the rank of the Mersenne prime based on its exponent. M39 is the highest Mersenne prime we are sure that there is no other unknown Mersenne prime below with a lower exponent since all Mersenne numbers with prime exponent below 13466917 have been checked twice.

In brief - I am great.

FFT and Prime95 for the win!!
