極小質數
極小質數(英語:minimal prime)是娛樂數學中的一個名詞,若一質數在數字順序不變下,所有子序列都不是質數,該質數就是極小質數。
概要
以類似的概念來看,以下的32個合數在數字順序不變下,所有子序列都不是合數:
- 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20, 21, 22, 25, 27, 30, 32, 33, 35, 50, 51, 52, 55, 57, 70, 72, 75, 77, 111, 117, 171, 371, 711, 713, 731 (OEIS數列A071070)
若只考慮除以4會餘1的質數,以下146個質數在數字順序不變下,其子序列都沒有除以4會餘1的質數:
- 5, 13, 17, 29, 37, 41, 61, 73, 89, 97, 101, 109, 149, 181, 233, 277, 281, 349, 409, 433, 449, 677, 701, 709, 769, 821, 877, 881, 1669, 2221, 3001, 3121, 3169, 3221, 3301, 3833, 4969, 4993, 6469, 6833, 6949, 7121, 7477, 7949, 9001, 9049, 9221, 9649, 9833, 9901, 9949, ... (OEIS數列A111055)
若只考慮除以4會餘3的質數,以下113個質數在數字順序不變下,其子序列都沒有除以4會餘3的質數:
十進位的例子
在十進位下,極小質數共有以下26個: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 19, 41, 61, 89, 409, 449, 499, 881, 991, 6469, 6949, 9001, 9049, 9649, 9949, 60649, 666649, 946669, 60000049, 66000049, 66600049 (A071062)
以409為例,其子序列有4,0,9,40,49,09,都不是質數,因此409為極小質數。子序列不一定要在原質數中連續的位子上。例如109不是極小質數,因為子序列中的19是質數。子序列的數字順序需和原來相同,不能將兩數字的順序對調。例如991,雖然19是質數,但因為位置對調,不在考慮範圍內,而其他子序列都不是質數,因此991是極小質數。
其他進制
極小質數也可以擴展到其他的進制。可以證明在每一個進制下,極小質數的個數都是有限個。換句話說,每一個足夠大的質數都至少會有一個子序列是質數。
