Recently, a lover of mathematics at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), successfully revealed the largest prime number is calculated that successful so far. Of course, difficult to mention and show the number because it consists of 13 million digits or numbers.

To calculate because it is not easy to be searched Mersenne primes are first introduced mathematician French Marin Mersenne in the 17th century. Numbers are didefiniskan as a result of reduced 2pangkat P 1 with P, which also primes.

The number of found that the value of P 43,112,609. Numbers found a new Mersenne primes to-46. UCLA teams have found eight Mersenne primes with millions of digits.

To calculate the network of 75 computers use the Windows XP operating system. The number has been verified as primes with different algorithms.

Efforts to find a team is not the largest prime number fruitless because of their success get 100,000 U.S. dollars by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which makes it as competition, the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS).

Thousands of people in the world has been participating in the arena. Competition is mengajakan the math lovers around the world use the power of computers to calculate the Mersenne primes are a minimum of 10 million digits.

Here are 10 primes the largest ever found
1. On August 23, 2008, Edson Smith discovered the 45th known Mersenne prime, 2^243.112.609-1. This is the largest known prime number.

Moth Vampire in Siberia

Siberia, it - This is not just a Rumor Haloween towards the end of October. The researchers insect recently found a collection of moth Vampire in Siberia. The discovery is surprising because the moth is generally only eat fruit and pollen, not human blood.

However, only the male moth, which shows the strange behavior. This shows that this behavior may be related to the sexual reasons.

Physical form only slightly different pattern on the wing with species of moth Calyptra thalactri normal life in the area of Russia. Entomolog from the University of Florida, Jennifer Zaspel even predict the moth from the developing fruit moth sweeping.

"We see the change from sweeping fruit nectar or pollen awl into the fruit until the skin and blood," he said. However, to ensure that the differences with the moth moth is usually genetic studies should be conducted to track the behavior when the start developing in their lives.

The next question is why the behavior appears? With only the fact that the male moth, Zespel sure pejantan attempt to get more salt. The body needs salt may be transferred to a female moth during mating.

Feed mineral content of the blood is also useful to add nutrition for the young flyblow only eat the leaves. Minerals that are needed, particularly to supply a lot of sodium that is not obtained from the leaves.
