Distinctive Prime Numbers Discovered By The Mathematicians

In a new research , mathematicians have revealed new category of prime numbers " digitially delicate ". This infinitely long prime numbers turn back to composites faster than cindrella at midnight with a change of any individual digit. These digitally delicate prime numbers have inumerous digits , and changing any digit to any other value bears a composite number outcome instead. To use a more simple example, consider 101 which is a prime number. Change the digits to 201 , 102 or 111 and you will have values that are divisible by three and therefore compound numbers. But this idea was found to be decades old , so what did the mathematicians found new ? The mathematicians from the University of South Carolina have established an even more specific niche of the digitally delicate primes: widely digitally delicate primes. These primes are added with infinite " leading zeros ", which don't change the original prime, but make a difference as the number of zeros a...

Smallest and largest river islands in the world.

It is interesting to know that both the world's largest and smallest river islands are situated in the Brahmaputra river in Assam.
