On Jan. 25, 2013, the largest known Prime number, 257,885,161-1, was discovered on Great internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) volunteer Curtis Cooper's computer. The new prime number, 2 multiplied by itself 57,885,161 times, less one, has 17,425,170 digits.
The largest known prime number is 17,425,170, although technically, there is no largest possible prime number. To this day, mathematicians are still searching for higher prime numbers.
