Isn't the first digitally delicate prime simply 2? Or are single-digit primes excluded? Or am I missing something terribly fundamental?
edit Or is it that, because we can replace 2 by 3 and still get a prime, it doesn't count? Which is to say, replacing any digit in the number by any other digit, must always result in a non-prime?
- paul_f 6y agoYes, you can change the 2 to a 3 and it is still prime. So 2 is not digitally delicate
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoThanks. The article could have been more explicit on this point.
