The progressions of numbers that are 0, 3, or 6 mod 9 contain at most one prime number (the number 3); the remaining progressions of numbers that are 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 mod 9 have infinitely many prime numbers, with similar numbers of primes in each progression.
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 .
Because the set of primes is a computably enumerable set, by Matiyasevich's theorem, it can be obtained from a system of Diophantine equations. Jones et al. (1976) found an explicit set of 14 Diophantine equations in 26 variables, such that a given number k + 2 is prime if and only if that system has a solution in nonnegative integers: [7]
The following table lists the progression of the largest known prime number in ascending order. [4] Here M p = 2 p − 1 is the Mersenne number with exponent p, where p is a prime number. The longest record-holder known was M 19 = 524,287, which was the largest known prime for 144 years. No records are known prior to 1456.
37 is a prime number, [1], a sexy prime, and a Padovan prime 37 is the first irregular prime with irregularity index of 1. [2] 37 is the smallest non-supersingular prime in moonshine theory. 37 is also an emirp because it remains prime when its digits are reversed.
31 is the 11th prime number. It is a superprime and a self prime (after 3, 5, and 7), as no integer added up to its base 10 digits results in 31. [1] It is the third Mersenne prime of the form 2 n − 1, [2] and the eighth Mersenne prime exponent, [3] in-turn yielding the maximum positive value for a 32-bit signed binary integer in computing: 2,147,483,647.
Similarly, their respective prime indices (21 and 12) in the list of prime numbers are also permutations of the same digits (1, and 2). 73 is the 21st prime number. It satisfies the "product property" since the product of its decimal digits is precisely in equivalence with its index in the sequence of prime numbers. i.e., 21 = 7 × 3. On the ...
47 is a safe prime, [1] an isolated prime, [2] a highly cototient number, [3] an Eisenstein prime, and a Lucas number. [4] 47 is also a supersingular prime. [5] It is the last consecutive prime number that divides the order of at least one sporadic group. [6]
