Continue removing the nth remaining numbers, where n is the next number in the list after the last surviving number. Next in this example is 9. One way that the application of the procedure differs from that of the Sieve of Eratosthenes is that for n being the number being multiplied on a specific pass, the first number eliminated on the pass is the n-th remaining number that has not yet been ...
These polynomials are all members of the larger set of prime generating polynomials. Leonhard Euler published the polynomial k 2 − k + 41 which produces prime numbers for all integer values of k from 1 to 40. Only 6 lucky numbers of Euler exist, namely 2, 3, 5, 11, 17 and 41 (sequence A014556 in the OEIS). [1] Note that these numbers are all ...
The Fortunate number for p n # is always above p n and all its divisors are larger than p n. This is because p n #, and thus p n # + m, is divisible by the prime factors of m not larger than p n. If a composite Fortunate number does exist, it must be greater than or equal to p n+1 2. [citation needed] The Fortunate numbers for the first ...
1987 is an odd number and the 300th prime number.It is the first number of a sexy prime triplet (1987, 1993, 1999). Being of the form 4n + 3, it is a Gaussian prime.It is a lucky number and therefore also a lucky prime. 1987 is a prime factor of the 9th number in Sylvester's sequence, and is the 15th prime to divide any number in the sequence.
This is a list of articles about prime numbers. A prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. By Euclid's theorem, there are an infinite number of prime numbers. Subsets of the prime numbers may be generated with various formulas for primes.
an Eisenstein prime, with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n − 1. a Proth prime as it is 5 × 2 3 + 1. [3] the largest lucky number of Euler: the polynomial f(k) = k 2 − k + 41 yields primes for all the integers k with 1 ≤ k < 41. the sum of two squares (4 2 + 5 2), which makes it a centered square number. [4]
151 is the 36th prime number, the previous is 149, with which it comprises a twin prime. 151 is also a palindromic prime, a centered decagonal number, [1] and a lucky number. [ 2 ] 151 appears in the Padovan sequence , preceded by the terms 65 , 86 , 114 ; it is the sum of the first two of these.
More generally, if the numbers n and σ(n) are coprime – meaning that the greatest common divisor of these numbers is 1, so that σ(n)/n is an irreducible fraction – then the number n is solitary (sequence A014567 in the OEIS). For a prime number p we have σ(p) = p + 1, which is co-prime with p.
