[seqfan] Re: when is 1234...n a prime?

[Ron Hardin]

I'm just curious, without knowing anything about it, if there's a better base than 10 for such removals.  I mean, why should 10 be the most efficient? rhhardin at mindspring.com rhhardin at att.net (either)

Has anyone taken care to remove numbers that end in 2,4,5,6,8,and 9 from
the testing algorithm? Some code could speed up the search.
Numbers that end in 9 are removed because 123456789*100000001000000001...
Will always end in nine.

Just a brief update -- there are no primes among first 77,000 terms.
