On 28 August 2021, 09:10:17 UTC, PrimeGrid's Generalized Cullen/Woodall Prime Search found the largest known Generalized Cullen prime: 2525532*73^2525532+1 Generalized Cullen numbers are of the form: n*bⁿ+1. Generalized Cullen numbers that are prime are called Generalized Cullen primes. For more information, please see "Cullen prime" in The Prime Glossary. The prime is 4,705,888 digits long and enters Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database ranked 1^st for Generalized Cullen primes and 24^th overall. Base 73 was one of 10 primeless Generalized Cullen bases for b≤1121 that PrimeGrid is searching. The remaining bases are 13, 29, 47, 49, 55, 69, 101, 109 & 121. The discovery was made by Tom Greer (tng) of the United States using an Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10920X CPU @ 3.50GHz with 16GB RAM, running Microsoft Windows 10 Professional x64 Edition.
