Who was the mathematician who discovered the largest prime number that exists?
It has been proven that there is no largest prime number. You can find a list of the largest KNOWN prime numbers here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_known_prime_number
How do you find the largest prime factor of a number?
Suppose you have a number N and you want to find its largest prime factor. It is probably easiest to start at the bottom.Find the smallest prime factor, p.Find its factor pair = N/p.If the second number (= N/p) is a prime, then it is the largest prime factor.if not, replace N by N/p and go back to the top.
How can you prove there is no largest prime number?
No. No matter how large of an example you choose, someone always can find a larger number (of any kind), because the upper range of number is infinite. If you take all the known prime numbers and multiply them together, then add 1 to the result, you will have a number that is not divisible by any of the known prime numbers. This number will either be prime or have prime factors that were not previously known. So, in this way, you can always find a new prime number or a number that is a multiple of new prime numbers. If the known prime numbers include all the prime numbers up to the largest known, the new ones must be larger.
How do you find the largest prime factor of 100?
Find them all. Pick the largest one. 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 100 The largest prime factor of 100 is 5.

What is the largest prime and the numberof digits in the prime?
Numbers never end. Thus it is impossible to find the largest prime number. The largest known prime number as of 2003 is m39 = 213,466,917-1 It has 4,053,946 digits and does not fit in this box.

How do you find the largest prime factor of any number?
by looking in internet
What is last prime number to sift to find all prime numbers less than 1000?
31
What is the largest prime no that is stored in 8 bit pattern?
Write your own prime number program and find out.
Find the largest prime number generated by Euler's formula?
2=43112609-1
What is the largest four digit number whose cube root is a prime number?
6859. Cube root of 9999 is 21.54, so find the largest prime number less than that (19), then cube that number. 19^3=6,859
How long did it take to find the largest prime number?
It has not yet been discovered because numbers are infinite
How to get largest prime factor?
All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this. Example: 210 210 Divide by two. 105,2 Divide by three. 35,3,2 Divide by five. 7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime. 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210 That's the prime factorization of 210. The largest of those numbers is the largest prime factor.

A chart of prime numbers?
There is an infinite number of them, so of course there is no chart with all of them. If you google prime number, you can find list of the first 1000 or even 10000 primes. That should do it, I think
