A WORKSHOP FOR YOUR BIGGEST NUMBERS

How far can a prime grow?

Choose a summit. Watch the proofs stack up. Take a remarkable number home.

A LITTLE HIGHER. THEN A LOT HIGHER.

Beyond the summit.

BEYOND THE SUMMIT

Let the tower carry on into thousands of digits. Every new prime is proved, every rung becomes a base camp, and you can pause whenever you like. No coin budget up here.

    Start with M31, a small proven prime. Choose your summit and watch the expedition grow.

    Bigger primes take longer—sometimes many minutes, depending on your device and the climb. Leaving this tab pauses the work; return and press Resume. The final prime may land a few digits beyond your goal.

    Peek inside the proof & prime

    Each rung is N = 2kq + 1, built from the proven prime q below. We keep q above √N, then check a modular power and a gcd: Pocklington’s theorem proves N prime. Keep the certificate to replay every rung with pytoolz.

    Choose expedition words for a repeatable new climb. Keep your current certificate before starting fresh.
