belphegor's prime is probably my favorite number.
it's a 1. and then 13 zeroes. and then 666. and then 13 zeroes. and a 1.
1000000000000066600000000000001
so crazy! And it's a prime. That's named after the Demon of Inventiveness.
And my thought is like, "Nah that's not a real number. That's just made up."
It was discovered by this guy Harvey Dubner who died in 2019 and it was named Belphegor's Prime in 2012! 2012! That's like not even that long ago and we're still naming numbers.
This number and its name is a poem. I like to talk about poems and Belphegor's Prime is a poem.
