A new cousin number has been discovered!

[Candyy]

You know, those numbers who can only be divided by 1 and themselves...

The number in particular is 2^136279841-1

That number has more than 41 million digits

The previous biggest cousin number was discovered in 2018 and only had 23 million digits :v

I thought they're prime numbers.

I saw that the other day.

Spanish is OPs first language, and in Spanish, "cousin" is primo/prima.

I'm guessing that's the confusion. Attempting to translate where none was needed.

Never thought I would learn math here but here I am learning math a decade after graduation.

I have thought many times about this.

But all numbers can be divided by one and itself, the answer will always be 1.

Even when the number has 42 million digits. If you divided it by the same number, you get. 1

Probably not as significant as people think it is.
