The OEIS A256480 conjecture for prepended-digit primes
The OEIS A256480 conjecture for prepended-digit primes
Let be the smallest prime obtained by appending to a positive-length string of identical decimal digits, or if no such prime exists.
OEIS A256480 conjecture.
if and only if is even or is divisible by .
The necessary condition is immediate from the final digit of a prime candidate, while the converse is proposed for all remaining . The supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
