Prime time Halloween



One of the scariest numbers is Belphegor's prime:

1,000,000,000,000,066,600,000,000,000,001

As you can see, it's a prime number with 666 in the middle and thirteen zeros either side. It's named after Belphegor, one of the seven princes of Hell.

OOOH nasty. Don't want that appearing anywhere near me. Mind you if it didn't have the 666 in the middle it would be not a very big number in Binary
