Smarandache number

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


In mathematics, a Smarandache number is an integer that in a given base is the concatenation of the numbers 1 to n written in that base. Smarandache numbers are named after Florentin Smarandache.

The first decimal Smarandache numbers are:

1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345, 123456, 1234567, 12345678, 123456789, 12345678910, 1234567891011, 123456789101112, 12345678910111213, 1234567891011121314, 123456789101112131415, ... (sequence A007908 in the OEIS)

Smarandache prime[edit]

A Smarandache prime is a Smarandache number that is also prime. However, all of the first 344869 Smarandache numbers are not prime. It is conjectured there are infinitely many Smarandache primes, but none are known as of December 2016.[1]

Generalization[edit]

Since there are no known original Smarandache primes, there are three generalizations of them to find some related primes.

  • Least k such that concatenating k consecutive natural numbers beginning with n is prime are
?, 1, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 2, 179, ?, 1, 2, 1, 4, 5, 28, 1, 3590, 1, 4, ?, ?, 1, ?, 25, 122, ?, 46, 1, ?, 1, ?, 71, 4, 569, 2, 1, 20, 5, ?, 1, 2, 1, 8, ?, ?, 1, ?, 193, 2, ?, ?, 1, ?, ?, 2, 5, 4, 1, ?, 1, 2, ?, 4, ... (sequence A244424 in the OEIS)
  • Least k such that the number formed by concatenating the decimal numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., k, but omitting n is prime are
2, 3, 7, 9, 11, 7, 11, 1873, 19, 14513, 13, 961, ?, 653, ?, 5109, 493, 757, 29, 1313, ... (sequence A262300 in the OEIS)
  • Least k such that concatenation of first k numbers in base n is prime are
2, 15, 2, ?, 2, 11, 10, 3, 2, ?, 2, 5, ?, 3, 2, 13, 2, ?, ?, 3, 2, ?, 9, 7, ?, ?, 2, ?, 2, 7, ?, 3, 5, 25, 2, 323, 226, 3, 2, ?, 2, 5, ?, 3, 2, 31, 85, 7, ?, ?, 2, ?, 14, 5, ?, 3, 2, ?, 2, ?, ?, 15, 10, ?, ...
