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 ...

It's videos like this one from YouTube user Numberphile that make us mortals realize why mathematicians view math as art, or perhaps as power. Highly composite numbers—numbers that have more divisible ...

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics is a public voice of mathematics education, providing vision, leadership, and professional development to support teachers in ensuring mathematics ...

A prime number is a whole number greater than one that has exactly two factors. Those two factors are one and the number itself. This definition is found across many school curriculums. Examples ...

Digitally delicate prime numbers become composite with this one weird trick. Math researchers proved these primes exist using the bucket proof method. There are no known examples so far, but ...
