Now this is unnerving.

I found this in "My Documents" on my computer:

Quote:
gomer signs his name in capital letters. uncountable times.

GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE

.............ETC.............


GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE GOMER PILE

i think i have made my point.




-gomer pile
"YOURE SO UGLY YOU COULD BE A MODERN ART MASTERPIECE!"
Now, I used to go under the name "gomer pile" on a different forum, and I recognize the quote at the end as being from Full Metal Jacket, and I may have used it as a signature for a while, but I have absolutely no recollection of making that file. Most likely, it was one of the many things that I posted, then copied and pasted to Word so I could easily re-post it to piss off the mods.

There is no 'largest' prime number.

Perhaps you mean the largest known prime.

You are right, but you knew what he meant. Related, the proof for that is quite beautiful (the original one. Perhaps there have been others?)

Anyway, I simply can't believe that www.314159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459.com was available for the taking.

what about ("the largest prime number")!+1?

that wouldn't be a prime number, since it would be divisible by 2 (at the very least)

not it wouldn't. note the +1, it would be one higher than an even number, and therefore not even.

(obviously (high prime number)!+1 doesn't automatically give a higher prime, but it is a neat enough try that I'm going to just wait for someone else's ex.)

If I recall the proof is something along the lines of...

Let us assume there exists a largest prime number. We shall call this number P. Then there are a finite number of primes, a,b,c,d.........P

Now consider the number a*b*c*d*.........*P + 1

call this number N

By our assumption this number can't be prime since P is the largest prime.

We can check by division

N/a = b*c*d*....*P +1/a thus a does not divide N
N/b = a*c*d*.....*P +1/b thus b does not divide N
.
.
.
N/P =a*b*c*d............ + 1/P thus P does not divide N

Therefore N must be prime.

This contradicts our assumption that P is the largest prime since N>P
Hence there is no largest prime.

Anyway, that's what all proofs should look like. If it doesn't fit on a page, I won't be able to pay attention long enough.
