WELCOME TO THE GREAT INTERNET MERSENNE PRIME SEARCH!
Thank you for joining the Great Internet Mersenne
Prime Search!You could discover one of the most coveted finds in all of
Mathematics - a new Mersenne prime number. We've found
five already. Join in on this fun, yet serious research project. All you
need is a personal computer, patience, and a lot of luck.
In addition to the joy of making a mathematical
discovery, you might win some cash. The Electronic
Frontier Foundation is offering a $100,000 award to the first person or
group to discover a ten million-digit prime number! See how GIMPS will distribute this award if we are
lucky enough to find a ten million-digit prime.
