The maximum number of pieces from consecutive cuts are the numbers in the Lazy Caterer's Sequence. When a circle is cut n times to produce the maximum number of pieces, represented as p = f (n), the n th cut must be considered; the number of pieces before the last cut is f (n − 1), while the number of pieces added by the last cut is n.
1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 6, 4, 6, 4, ... φ(n) is the number of positive integers not greater than n that are coprime with n. A000010: Lucas numbers L(n) 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, ... L(n) = L(n − 1) + L(n − 2) for n ≥ 2, with L(0) = 2 and L(1) = 1. A000032: Prime numbers p n: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, ... The prime numbers p ...
The known pattern to this sequence comes from algebraic number theory, specifically, this sequence is the set of primes p such that b is a primitive root modulo p. A conjecture of Emil Artin [ 1 ] is that this sequence contains 37.395..% of the primes (for b in OEIS : A085397 ).
An example is the sequence of primes (3, 7, 11), which is given by = + for . According to the Green–Tao theorem , there exist arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in the sequence of primes. Sometimes the phrase may also be used about primes which belong to an arithmetic progression which also contains composite numbers.
For example, to find the seventh Fortunate number, one would first calculate the product of the first seven primes (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17), which is 510510. Adding 2 to that gives another even number, while adding 3 would give another multiple of 3. One would similarly rule out the integers up to 18.
P(n) is the number of ways of writing n + 2 as an ordered sum in which each term is either 2 or 3 (i.e. the number of compositions of n + 2 in which each term is either 2 or 3). For example, P(6) = 4, and there are 4 ways to write 8 as an ordered sum of 2s and 3s: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ; 2 + 3 + 3 ; 3 + 2 + 3 ; 3 + 3 + 2
Then, 2 2 =4, multiplied by 5 and 11 results in 220, whose divisors add up to 284, and 4 times 71 is 284, whose divisors add up to 220. The only known n satisfying these conditions are 2, 4 and 7, corresponding to the Thabit primes 11, 47 and 383 given by n , the Thabit primes 5, 23 and 191 given by n −1, and our third terms are 71, 1151 and ...
The most-common visualization of the Recamán's sequence is simply plotting its values, such as the figure seen here. On January 14, 2018, the Numberphile YouTube channel published a video titled The Slightly Spooky Recamán Sequence , [ 3 ] showing a visualization using alternating semi-circles, as it is shown in the figure at top of this page.
