Fun Fact
The largest known prime number has millions of digits and was discovered using distributed computing, yet the basic idea of identifying primes dates back over 2,000 years.
Historical Context
Prime numbers were studied extensively by ancient Greek mathematicians. The Sieve of Eratosthenes, developed around 240 BCE, remains one of the most efficient and elegant methods for finding prime numbers even in modern computing.
