The larger terms may only correspond to probable primes.

Index entries for primes involving repunits

EXAMPLE

2 appears because the 2-digit repunit 11 = eleven is prime. 19 appears because the 19-digit repunit 1111111111111111111 is prime.

EXTENSIONS

49081 found by Harvey Dubner - posting to Number Theory List (NMBRTHRY(AT)LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU) Sep 09, 1999.

86453 found using pfgw (a faster version of PrimeForm) on Oct 26 2000 by Lew Baxter (ldenverb(AT)hotmail.com) - posting to Number Theory List (NMBRTHRY(AT)LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU), Oct 26, 2000.

a(8) = 109297 was apparently discovered independently by (in alphabetical order) Paul Bourdelais (paul.bourdelais(AT)gd-ais.com) and Harvey Dubner (harvey(AT)dubner.com) around Mar 26-28 2007.

A new probable prime repunit, R(270343), was found Jul 11 2007 by Maksym Voznyy (mvoznyy0526(AT)ROGERS.COM) and Anton Budnyy.
