In fact the discovery Prime numbers is a great achievement. The largest of the largest was found on February 18, 2005 by Dr. Martin Nowak from Germany. It was the 42nd Known Mersenne Prime found. Finding a Mersenne prime uses the functions M(p) = 2p-1 and P(p) = 2p-1(2p-1). To understand what makes a Mersenne prime confuses me. You have to know about perfect numbers among other things (A number is a perfect number if you can add up its divisors and equal itself. for example you can divide 6 by one, two, or three and 1+2+3=6!). I find "Twin" primes much more easy to understand.. They are prime numbers that are only two apart. For example 11 and 13 would be twin prim numbers. 3 and 5 are not prime twins as they are prime prime triplets along with 7. (I don't believe 2 is part of the "twin" set as it is only one away from 3.
