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

[Frank Adams-Watters]

I'm interested in what the sequence looks like in other bases. Are there other bases where there are none for a long time? Is the density less than expected across multiple bases?

Note to Elias: I think you are misunderstanding the sequence of numbers to be tested. It's 12345678910111213..., not 123456789123456789....

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.
