My Prime Number, A challenge! Can you get next kind of this Prime?

What is the biggest Prime Number you can get by arranging consecutive prime numbers side by side? Few examples:

P1=2
P2=23
P3=2357
P4=2357111317192329313741434753596167717379838997101103107109113127131137139149151157163167173179181191193197199211223227229233239241251257263269271277281283293307311313317331337347349353359367373379383389397401409419421431433439443449457461463467479487491499503509521523541547557563569571577587593599601607613617619631641643647653659661673677683691701709719 (355 Digits) Hope I didn't miss any prime number in this sequence!

I think P6 would be having 800-1000 digits or even bigger. Would try finding it tomorrow.

You will need a lot of time. P(9) has more than 121444 digits.

Why is it not fair? It is a lot better to know something about the size of problem you are given. Then you know whether or not to try it.

Re: My Prime Number, A challenge! Can you get next kind of this Prime?

It is not fair because the next one is so large. I wanted to find one myself. Now I can't.

Don't give up anonimnystefy! The largest Prime nearly 13 million digits! 100k digits is not that big in comparison.

Re: My Prime Number, A challenge! Can you get next kind of this Prime?

No one knows what P(9) is, the 100000+ digits is only a lower bound. It could be much more.
To verify the primality of each number takes a long time even using the fastest algorithms.

I agree bobbym, sometimes the next prime just jumps into gigantic number out of blue. Sometimes they are just next to each other. You can never understand prime.

Hi;

Generally the primes thin out. It is natural to expect in this case that there would be big jumps each time.
