COMMENTS

The Brown link states that in 2001 Ed. T. Prothro reported discovering that 16208 gives a probable prime and that Prothro verified that all values for 500 through 16207 digits of pi are composites. - Rick L. Shepherd (rshepherd2(AT)hotmail.com), Sep 10 2002

The corresponding primes are in A005042. - Alexander R. Povolotsky (pevnev(AT)juno.com), Dec 17 2007
