By 1772, Leonhard Euler had proven that 2,147,483,647 is a prime.

The number 2,147,483,647 is the eighth Mersenne prime, equal to 231 − 1. It is one of only four known double Mersenne primes.[2]

The primality of this number was proven by Leonhard Euler, who reported the proof in a letter to Daniel Bernoulli written in 1772.[3] Euler used trial division, improving on Pietro Cataldi's method, so that at most 372 divisions were needed.[4] It thus improved upon the previous record-holding prime, 6,700,417, also discovered by Euler, forty years earlier. The number 2,147,483,647 remained the largest known prime until 1867.[5]

In computing, this number is the largest value that a signed 32-bit integer field can hold.
