45th and 46th Mersenne Primes Confirmed

Posted by kdawson on from the interest-rate dept.

kahunak writes to alert us that GIMPS has announced that the 45th and 46th Mersenne primes have been confirmed. The EFF's $100,000 award, for the first prime over 10 million digits in length, will probably be claimed. (We discussed no. 45 when it was announced.)
