Oh, that's cool, who would've guessed that 34,850,340 was a perfect numb-
DIGITS?! 34 MILLION DIGITS?!

2,147,483,647 is my favorite number. It's 2^(31)-1 and it's a double Mersenne Prime. It's the maximum value for a signed 32-bit integer, and just last month, for the first time ever, a YouTube video surpassed this barrier in views. For a short period of time, Gangnam Style's view count was actually in the negatives until YouTube changed the view count to a signed 64-bit integer. However, this is rumored to have been caused by Google as a joke.

Being someone who has previously never learned about Perfect Numbers or Mersenne Primes, I appreciate all the background you provide. I was slightly confused about if n had to be prime or n-1 one had to be prime--so I decided to get out a piece of paper myself and do some exploring. I proved to myself, as you did, that n must be prime. I am continuously satisfied with the patterns that appear in math and I appreciate you exposing them! I wonder though what a practical use for this information would be--or is it just for fun? Even if it is merely amusement, very interesting video!

"Some people like looking patterns...we call those people mathematicians." That was amazing.
