Theorem
Let $1$ be temporarily considered to be a prime number.
Under that consideration, the largest right-truncatable prime numbers are:
- $1 \, 979 \, 339 \, 333$
- $1 \, 979 \, 339 \, 339$
Proof
We have that:
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 1 \, 979 \, 339 \, 333\) | is prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 1 \, 979 \, 339 \, 339\) | is prime |
For both, the truncation process is the same:
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 197 \, 933 \, 933\) | is the $10 \, 970 \, 817$th prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 19 \, 793 \, 393\) | is the $1 \, 252 \, 285$th prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 1 \, 979 \, 339\) | is the $147 \, 488$th prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 197 \, 933\) | is the $17 \, 815$th prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 19 \, 793\) | is the $2240$th prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 1979\) | is the $299$th prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 197\) | is the $45$th prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 19\) | is the $8$th prime | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds 1\) | has been defined temporarily to be prime |
This needs considerable tedious hard slog to complete it. In particular: It remains to be demonstrated that there are no such primes which are larger To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page.
