The new number is 2^136,279,841 – 1
So, in binary notation that number is a sequence of 136,279,841 of the symbol 1
There are no zeros in that sequence.
as 2^n - 1 can be expressed in binary notation as a sequence of n of the symbol 1
For example 2^3 - 1 is 8 - 1 which is 7 and 7 in binary is 111
There are no zeros in that sequence.
For example 2^4 - 1 is 16 - 1 which is 15 and 15 in binary is 1111
There are no zeros in that sequence.
