The List of Largest Known Primes

The list of 5000 largest known primes will always be available here.  You can view it and search it here!

all.txt

The whole list as a printable text file!  This is a large file: 408.64 KB.

all.zip

The whole list (all.txt) zipped, so it is roughly one fourth the size of all.txt: 114.99 KB.

short.txt

All of the primes with 800,000 digits or more, plus the 'interesting' smaller primes (that is, those with comments on the list). So this is a much smaller file: 337.68 KB.

You might also consider one of the summary pages (these are automatically updated when new primes are accepted onto the list!)

The Top Twenty

The Top Twenty lists is a series of pages each dedicated to listing the top twenty primes of certain selected forms.

The Largest Known Primes
