The was the 46th mersenne prime found (though it is 45th in order of size). See the GIMPS press release.

Chris Caldwell writes (3 Sep 2016):  (report abuse)
Every Mersenne number less than this one has now been checked twice for primality by GIMPS (once by 25 December 2010, twice by 2 September 2016), and the residues compared. So this number is now 'proven' to be the 45th Mersenne prime by size.

Verification data:

The Top 5000 Primes is a list for proven primes only. In order to maintain the integrity of this list, we seek to verify the primality of all submissions.  We are currently unable to check all proofs (ECPP, KP, ...), but we will at least trial divide and PRP check every entry before it is included in the list.

notesThis prime was first verified by Tom Duell (Burlington, MA, USA) and Rob Giltrap (Wellington, New Zealand), both of Sun Microsystems, using the Mlucas program by Ernst Mayer of Cupertino California USA. The verifications ran on 8 dual-core SPARC64 VI 2.15Ghz CPUs of a Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 Server and 4 quad-core SPARC64 VII 2.52GHz CPUs of a Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000 Server in Menlo Park, CA, USA. The prime verification took 5 days. This prime was also independently verified by Tony Reix of Bull S.A. in Grenoble, France using 16 1.6 GHz Itanium2 CPUs of a Bull NovaScale 6160 HPC server and the Glucas program. Jeff Gilchrist of Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada has also verified primality using up to 16 1.6 GHz Itanium2 CPUs of a server at SHARCNET, running the Glucas program by Guillermo Ballester Valor of Granada, Spain.
