%N Numbers n such that the five eighth-degree cyclotomic polynomials are simultaneously prime.

%C The polynomials are cyclotomic(15,x) = 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8, cyclotomic(16,x) = 1 + x^8, cyclotomic(20,x) = 1 - x^2 + x^4 - x^6 + x^8, cyclotomic(24,x) = 1 - x^4 + x^8, and cyclotomic(30,x) = 1 + x - x^3 - x^4 - x^5 + x^7 + x^8. The numbers 15, 16, 20, 24 and 30 are in the eighth row of A032447.

%C By Schinzel's hypothesis H, there are an infinite number of n that yield simultaneous primes. Note that the two first-degree cyclotomic polynomials, x-1 and x+1, yield the twin primes for the numbers in A014574.

%D See A087277.

%t t = {}; n = 0; While[Length[t] < 6, n++; If[PrimeQ[Cyclotomic[15, n]] && PrimeQ[Cyclotomic[16, n]] && PrimeQ[Cyclotomic[20, n]] && PrimeQ[Cyclotomic[24, n]] && PrimeQ[Cyclotomic[30, n]], AppendTo[t, n]]]; t
