Something like this seems as if it should reveal some significance in the world of dimensions and numbers.
I would be inclined to try and publish it in a mathematics journal and hope the recognition would lead to some lucrative pursuits.

So can you choose to generate a prime with any certain number of digits?

Here’s a number to savor: 2^43,112,609 -1.
The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, or GIMPS, a computing project that uses volunteers’ computers to hunt for primes, found the prime and just confirmed the discovery. It can now claim a $100,000 prize from the Electronic Frontier Foundation for being the first to find a prime number that has more than 10 million digits.

Two largest known prime numbers discovered just two weeks apart, one qualifies for $100k prize
Two new records for the largest known prime number have been set, both breaking the 10 million digit threshold. On August 23, Edson Smith, a systems engineer for the Program in Computing laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles in California, United States, confirmed the primality of the number through his work as a volunteer in the distributed computing project known as the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, or GIMPS. This new prime qualifies GIMPS for a $100,000 award from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), offered to the first person or group to discover a prime number of 10 million digits or more.
...perhaps hold on until there is a 100 million-digit prime prize?
