ONE - Unity. The word "JAH" (3 letters) is found ONLY one time in all capital letters. Thus with 3 letters (Divinity) and one word (unity), it reveals the Trinity as being in "Divine Unity", although in three Persons. That is what the scripture says. Godhead - One (single) word, yet plural (3 IN 1) in meaning. ONLY the AV/KJV records it THREE times! The NEW KJV changes it once to 'Divine Nature' (NOT PLURAL-and WRONG!) God - One (single) word (with 3 letters-see item 3 below), yet plural (3 in 1) both theologically and numerically. "Man" is also 3 in one, body, soul, spirit. "Bishop" - with a CAPITAL B, and in the verse context referring to Jesus, is found only ONE time in KJV. Thus, numerically, Jesus, is God (1 Tim 3:16) and is the one and only true, and divine "Bishop". The Lord appeared to Abraham "in the plains of Mamre". "..lo, three men stood by him" (Genesis 18:1-2). The Godhead/God is three "Persons"!

Extractions: Prime Numbers. Introduction The second classification of the natural numbers, after the classification of even and odd, is prime numbers. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, sometimes called the Unique Factorization Theorem as described below in more detail, states that any and every integer is either uniquely a product of prime numbers or is a prime number. One of the beauties of number theory is that, since prime numbers can play the role of generator, every integer has a unique signature, the collection of its prime divisors. Trial Division Prime Number Theorem The Prime Number Theorem is an approximation that is reasonably accurate, which can be used to estimate with the probability of 1/ln(N) that a randomly chosen integer N is prime. The Prime Number Theorem states that the primes near a prime are spaced on the average one every (ln(N))/2 integers. The 1/2 considers that even numbers don't count. For instance, a 512-bit prime number would require ln(2 )/2 or roughly 178 512-bit random numbers for primality testing.
37th Mersenne Prime Discovered There is a wellknown formula that generates a perfect number from a Mersenneprime. A perfect number is one whose factors add up to the number itself. http://www.mersenne.org/3021377.htm
Extractions: 2^3021377-1 is now the Largest Known Prime. ORLANDO, Fla., February 2, 1998 Roland Clarkson has discovered the world's largest known prime number using a program written by George Woltman and networking software written by Scott Kurowski. The prime number, 2^3021377-1, is one of a special class of prime numbers called Mersenne primes. This is only the 37th known Mersenne prime. Roland Clarkson , a 19 year-old student at California State University Dominguez Hills, is from Norwalk, California. George Woltman is a retired programmer living in Orlando, Florida. Scott Kurowski is a software development manager and entrepreneur living in San Jose, California. The new prime number, discovered on January 27th, is 909,526 digits long! Roland used a 200 MHz Pentium computer part-time for 46 days to prove the number prime. Running uninterrupted it would take about a week to test the primality of this prime number. Clarkson is one of over 4000 volunteers world-wide participating in the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS). This prime number is the third record prime found by the GIMPS project. Gordon Spence discovered the previous largest known prime number last August. Joel Armengaud discovered the

Extractions: September 10, 1996 About 2 years ago, Andrew Wiles, a researcher at Princeton, claims to have proved the Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) and later a large gap was found in the proof. (The gap was filled later at the end of 1994.) At that time, we, the VACETSERS, had debated on proving the FLT using numerical methods (i.e., using computer to crank out the solutions to the famous theorem). One of the first steps in numerical method is to find the prime numbers, and from that, a "fastest prime number generator" war was waged among us the VACETSERS. The result of that "war" was that we were able to reduce the time from tens of seconds to find all the primes below 1 million to less than 1 second to find all the primes below 10 million. It was an improvement of more than 100. It was a fun war. (Actually, for me, anything involved with numbers, especially prime numbers, is fun.) Shortly after that "fastest prime number generator" war, Thomas R. Nicely, Professor of Mathematics at Lynchburg College, Virginia, computed the sums of the reciprocals of the twin primes (such as 11 and 13), triplets (such as 11, 13, and 17), and quadruplets (such as 11, 13, 17, and 19) up to a very large upper bound (about 10 trillion). He discovered during the summer and fall of 1994 that one of the reciprocals had been calculated incorrectly by a Pentium computer, although a 486 system gave the correct answer; this led to the publicization of the hardware divide flaw in the Pentium floating point unit.

Extractions: This interesting problem was posed by G. L. Honaker, Jr. in November of 1998. First, create any knight's tour on an n x n chessboard, in which the knight starts on any square of the board and by successive knight's moves visits every square on the board exactly once. Number the squares visited by the knight in order starting with 1 for the starting square. When you are done, place a Queen on any square and count the number of prime numbers attacked by the Queen (note that the Queen is not considered to be attacking the square it sits on). Now, the problem: What is the largest number of primes that can be attacked by the Queen, for any placement of the Queen and any knight's tour? First, note that there are 18 primes between 1 and 64. Amazingly, there is a perfect knight's tour in which all 18 primes can be attacked! Here is the first perfect solution ever constructed (by M. Keith, in Nov. 1998): where the location of the Queen is in blue and the attacked primes are shown in red Knights tours are impossible on 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 boards, but it is natural to ask the same question for any

Extractions: Prime numbers have long been an interest of mine. The main reason is that with large numbers it takes a very long time to reliably decide whether that number is prime or not. This gives rise to more creative methods being devised. Interest in this area is heavily funded from the cryptography because large prime numbers play a key role in the development of encryption (secure, coded) systems. Here is a simple Java applet which allows you to type in a number and find out whether or not it is prime: [ Sorry, you cannot see the applet because your browser does not support Java applets ] A prime number is one which cannot be expressed as a product of two whole numbers other than itself and 1. For example, 6 equals 2 times 3, so 6 is not prime. 7 is a prime number because only 1 and 7 can be multiplied together to give 7. The applet above simply checks all whole numbers from 2 up to the square root of the number to see if any of them divide evenly into the number being tested. Both the interface and the core algorithm could do with some work. Some of the imaginative methods people have used to see if a number is prime or not include: just check whole numbers from 2 up to the square root of the number you are testing - if it has any factors, one of them must be less than its square root

Extractions: Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC), Hagenberg, Austria The difference between any two consecutive prime numbers is called a prime gap. We consider the distribution of prime gaps modulo six, which is a perfect number with respect to the usual definition (A natural number is called a perfect number if the sum of all its divisors, excluding itself, is equal to the number.). We call six a perfect number due to the property of the resulting distribution of prime gaps modulo six: The number of prime gaps congruent to zero modulo six is approximately same as the number of prime gaps not congruent to zero modulo six. This also substantiates the claim made in a recent Science Update on the Nature web site; statistically the difference between consecutive prime gaps is rarely a multiple of six. We also give the estimate of the distribution of prime gaps modulo six using Hardy-Littlewood k-tuple conjecture.

It is well known that a number is even and perfect if and only if it has the form where is prime. No odd perfect numbers are known, nor has any proof of their nonexistence ever been given. In the meantime, much work has been done in establishing conditions necessary for their existence. One class of necessary conditions would be lower bounds for the distinct prime divisors of an odd perfect number. For example, Cohen and Hagis have shown that the largest prime divisor of an odd perfect number must exceed
