      I guess the binary cyclops numbers can be skipped, so that'll save you 1 every power of 2... which is a quite small number 😅 but I suppose as they get larger, that's significant as anything to be able to skip 1.

    • @HowtoDoStuffwithEthan
      @HowtoDoStuffwithEthan 4 года назад

      so, 10= 10^1, and 10-1=9, so, the power number is the number of 9s. same with 10^2-1, because 10^2=100 and 100-1=99 and that is the power number, 2 so there are 2 nines. same with 10^506-1.

  • @ChrisStavros
    @ChrisStavros 6 лет назад

    Really love his method for finding out if a number is prime. First you figure out what the number is as a sum of various powers of ten, then you just eliminate the common denominators in the powers and represent them by algebraic symbols, and as a final step all you have to do is to just put the number into a prime number database and that will tell you if your number was prime or not.
    Works every time.

    • @Nixitur
      @Nixitur 8 лет назад +19

      Other commenters have mentioned the same number, but are you sure? That's a ridiculously huge number and I don't believe your primality test is rigorous enough to conclusively prove that it _is_, in fact, a prime number.
      Look at the documentation of the method that you're using and whether it's actually _guaranteed_ to work with such huge numbers.

    • @zetadroid
      @zetadroid 8 лет назад +27

      Nixitur PrimeQ[] of Mathematica. Of course you are right and I should've checked better the documentation! From Wolfram's page:
      "PrimeQ first tests for divisibility using small primes, then uses the Miller-Rabin strong pseudoprime test base 2 and base 3, and then uses a Lucas test."
      It is not guaranteed above 10^16, only suspected. Similarly m=5611 gives a positive. I'm running the test up to 10000 overnight for fun.

    • @JoseyWales93
      @JoseyWales93 8 лет назад +15

      +Omar Z I confirm that 10^(2*m)-10^m-1 is a prime for m=2618 and m=5611.
      It can be proven using a classical primality test known as "the N+1 test" which can be applied when N+1 has a fully factored divisor F greater than cubic root of N, here we have N+1 = 10^(2*m)-10^m = 10^m(10^m-1) so we can use F=10^m.

    In fact, any base-b number consisting (as a concatenation) of n rep-(b - 1)'s, 0, and another n rep-(b - 1)'s in that order (such as 999,909,999 in base ten, where n = 4 in this case) factors as:
    b^(2n + 1) - *(b - 1)* b^n - 1 = (b^(n + 1) + 1) (b^n - 1)
    (in the example given, the factors were 100,001 and 9,999 neither of which is prime in base ten; in fact they're both multiples of 11: 100,001 = (11)(9,091) while 9,999 = (3^2)(11)(101).)

    3:50 Even though it does seem like it would make a "big change" changing one of those numbers. You also gotta realize that the 8 is approx. 253 numbers into the number. Even if you had a number that's 11 digits long, lets say 99999899999. ((10^11 - 1) - 10^5) With the 8 in the middle. changing the 8 to a 9 wouldn't be a very high increase. You're only increasing it by 100,000. 100,000 of 99999899999 is 0.0001000001%
