'''M52''' normally refers to the 52nd [[Mersenne prime]], in order of size from the smallest to greatest. This is the primary usage and what is referred to in the rest of this article.

==Discovery==
The official discovery date for prime {{Greatest Mersenne Prime|only}} was 2024-10-12 and has {{Num|41024320}} [[digit]]s.

A cloud-based network of machines volunteered by [[Luke Durant]] made the find on 2024-10-11.

This was the first Mersenne prime to be discovered by a [[GPU]], the first since the founding of GIMPS not to be found by [[Prime95]], and the first in the GIMPS era to originally be discovered as a probable prime rather than a LL-proven prime.

The official credit for the discovery goes to "L. Durant, [[Mihai Preda|M. Preda]], [[George Woltman|G. Woltman]], [[Aaron Blosser|A. Blosser]], et al.".

==Verification==
To confirm that there were no errors in the [[hardware]] or [[software]], the number had to be independently verified by running tests on various machines with different architecture and software.

The volunteers that ran these tests were:
