COMMENT

Primes which under repeated summation of digits eventually reach 1, 2, 4 or 8.

One might introduce the overall classification of the entire set of prime numbers, based on the outcome of calculating their digital roots (also called repeated digital sum - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_root) Such classification yields four distinct classes of primes: a) powers of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8) - this sequence b) 3 - just one occurence c) 5 d) 7 Zak Seidov in private communication contributed the following computation/info: Among first 10^6 primes, the frequency of distribution of cases dig root = 1,2,3,4,5,7,8 is: {166568, 166751, 1, 166637, 166707, 166624, 166712} - uniform distribution with a great accuracy (except for 3 of course).
