I am looking for the title and/or author of an essay/short story that involves a computer "thinking" of an answer to a question for a long time. By the time the computer answers, no one remembers the question.

I read this story in a science fiction collection in a philosophy class in 1994. I believe the answer was a number and the story was considered a "classic."
