The situation is a little more complicated for our complete 9 digit zip code 84112-0090, where this number is interpreted as

n=841,120,090

On all machines I know of the prime machine runs out of memory when attempting to disect that number. However, this FORTRAN code will compute such data for large numbers (usually up to 2,147,483,647 on a 32 bit system) in a very short time.

It turns out that there are 43,149,915 primes less than n. n can be written as the sum of two odd primes in 1,945,268 different ways. For example,

n = 420,559,259+ 420,560,831.

The prime twin closest to but below n is 841,119,899 and 841,119,901, and there is a total of 2,931,590 prime twins below n.

The prime factorization of n is n = 2 * 5 * 84,112,009
