In 1951 Miller and Wheeler found the primes k*M127 + 1 for k = 114, 124, 388, 408, 498, 696, 738, 744, 780, 934 and 978. These were some of the earliest primes found by electronic computers.
All terms so far are == {0, 4} (mod 6) == {0, 4, 6, 10, 16, 18, 24, 28} (mod 30). - Robert G. Wilson v, Nov 28 2020
