There are no known examples so far, but mathematicians are hopeful. Mathematicians have revealed a new category of “digitally delicate” prime numbers. These infinitely long primes turn back to ...

A simple, step-by-step breakdown of two “perfect” math proofs. But which prime number is p? It must be on our list of primes, because our list is complete. But it also can’t be on our list of primes, ...

Infinity down, only 69,999,997 to go. New research has proven that prime numbers don't just disappear as numbers get larger — instead, there is an infinite number of prime numbers separated by a ...

Even if we mapped every genome, mathematics would still confront us with unending questions Dr Reyaz Ahmad “Mathematics is ...

Mathematicians have taken a step forward in understanding patterns within the primes, numbers divisible only by 1 and themselves. According to the new work, the population of prime numbers contains an ...
