Hey, math kids!

[Heraclitus]

I need a really big random number, thousands of digits long. How can I get one easily?

Thanks in advance!

 

[StattlichPassat]

A billion billion? Seriously- isn't there such thing?

 

[hoihtah]

you want it in writing?

I don't know. How many is this: 54544484441321321266559546456456564556469247697121724798914622664614617461675647624564565475626544665546616121655175471524175421756217542155452175271525715247152417256417652175642157521754217521752175207521754217542712517524715241752157541752175254752547574562417562547842

Or open up MS word and then pound on your number keypad for a long time. Goto Tools-Word Count and see where you're at every few minutes

Aw damn, you beat me...

 

[Stojakapimp]

a gugleplex...or maybe it's googleplex. whatever it is, it's 1 followed by a million 0's. it's a big number

 

[Heraclitus]

Thanks for the random.org link, iamme!

As for typing on the number pad: I doubt that would be truly random.

1,437 Digits

$j = rand 10;

that's a perl script that will prompt you for a number of digits, and generate a random positive whole # based on that number of digits.

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

My mind just went numb. I want to learn something like that someday....

 

[LordAccord]

dont trust perl Shoddy Comp.... listen, how many times has perl script made you a WINNER?

My mistake. It prompts for the number of digits I see...
