Balanced Prime
In number theory, a balanced prime is a prime number with equal-sized prime gaps above and below it, so that it is equal to the arithmetic mean of the nearest primes above and below. Or to put it algebraically, given a prime number p_n, where is its index in the ordered set of prime numbers, :p_n = . For example, 53 is the sixteenth prime; the fifteenth and seventeenth primes, 47 and 59, add up to 106, and half of that is 53; thus 53 is a balanced prime. Examples The first few balanced primes are 5, 53, 157, 173, 211, 257, 263, 373, 563, 593, 607, 653, 733, 947, 977, 1103, 1123, 1187, 1223, 1367, 1511, 1747, 1753, 1907, 2287, 2417, 2677, 2903 . Infinitude It is conjectured that there are infinitely many balanced primes. Three consecutive primes in arithmetic progression is sometimes called a CPAP-3. A balanced prime is by definition the second prime in a CPAP-3. the largest known CPAP-3 has 10546 digits and was found by David Broadhurst.

Number Theory
Number theory (or arithmetic or higher arithmetic in older usage) is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic function, integer-valued functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics."German original: "Die Mathematik ist die Königin der Wissenschaften, und die Arithmetik ist die Königin der Mathematik." Number theorists study prime numbers as well as the properties of mathematical objects made out of integers (for example, rational numbers) or defined as generalizations of the integers (for example, algebraic integers). Integers can be considered either in themselves or as solutions to equations (Diophantine geometry). Questions in number theory are often best understood through the study of Complex analysis, analytical objects (for example, the Riemann zeta function) that encode properties of the integers, primes ...

257 (number)
257 (two hundred ndfifty-seven) is the natural number following 256 and preceding 258. In mathematics 257 is a prime number of the form 2^+1, specifically with ''n'' = 3, and therefore a Fermat prime. Thus a regular polygon with 257 sides is constructible with compass and unmarked straightedge. It is currently the second largest known Fermat prime. Analogously, 257 is the third Sierpinski prime of the first kind, of the form n^ + 1 ➜ 4^ + 1 = 257. It is also a balanced prime, an irregular prime, a prime that is one more than a square, and a Jacobsthal–Lucas number. There are exactly 257 combinatorially distinct convex polyhedra with eight vertices (or polyhedral graphs with eight nodes).

Interprime
In mathematics, an interprime is the average of two consecutive odd primes. For example, 9 is an interprime because it is the average of 7 and 11. The first interprimes are: :4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 26, 30, 34, 39, 42, 45, 50, 56, 60, 64, 69, 72, 76, 81, 86, 93, 99, ... Interprimes cannot be prime themselves (otherwise the primes would not have been consecutive). There are infinitely many primes and therefore also infinitely many interprimes. The largest known interprime may be the 388342-digit ''n'' = 2996863034895 · 21290000, where ''n'' + 1 is the largest known twin prime.

Strong Prime
In mathematics, a strong prime is a prime number with certain special properties. The definitions of strong primes are different in cryptography and number theory. Definition in number theory In number theory, a strong prime is a prime number that is greater than the arithmetic mean of the nearest prime above and below (in other words, it's closer to the following than to the preceding prime). Or to put it algebraically, writing the sequence of prime numbers as (''p'', ''p'', ''p'', ...) = (2, 3, 5, ...), ''p'' is a strong prime if . For example, 17 is the seventh prime: the sixth and eighth primes, 13 and 19, add up to 32, and half that is 16; 17 is greater than 16, so 17 is a strong prime. The first few strong primes are : 11, 17, 29, 37, 41, 59, 67, 71, 79, 97, 101, 107, 127, 137, 149, 163, 179, 191, 197, 223, 227, 239, 251, 269, 277, 281, 307, 311, 331, 347, 367, 379, 397, 419, 431, 439, 457, 461, 479, 487, 499 .

A082079
A, or a, is the first letter and the first vowel of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''a'' (pronounced ), plural ''aes''. It is similar in shape to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives. The uppercase version consists of the two slanting sides of a triangle, crossed in the middle by a horizontal bar. The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the double-storey a and single-storey ɑ. The latter is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children, and is also found in italic type. In English grammar, " a", and its variant " an", are indefinite articles. History The earliest certain ancestor of "A" is aleph (also written 'aleph), the first letter of the Phoenician alphabet, which consisted entirely of consonants (for that reason, it is also called an abjad to distinguish it f ...

Primes In Arithmetic Progression
In number theory, primes in arithmetic progression are any sequence of at least three prime numbers that are consecutive terms in an arithmetic progression. An example is the sequence of primes (3, 7, 11), which is given by a_n = 3 + 4n for 0 \le n \le 2. According to the Green–Tao theorem, there exist arbitrarily long sequences of primes in arithmetic progression. Sometimes the phrase may also be used about primes which belong to an arithmetic progression which also contains composite numbers. For example, it can be used about primes in an arithmetic progression of the form an + b, where ''a'' and ''b'' are coprime which according to Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions contains infinitely many primes, along with infinitely many composites. For integer ''k'' ≥ 3, an AP-''k'' (also called PAP-''k'') is any sequence of ''k'' primes in arithmetic progression. An AP-''k'' can be written as ''k'' primes of the form ''a''·''n'' + ''b'', for fixed integers ''a'' (called th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
211 (number)
211 (two hundred ndeleven) is the natural number following 210 and preceding 212. It is also a prime number. In mathematics 211 is an odd number. 211 is a primorial prime, sum of three consecutive primes (67 + 71 + 73), Chen prime, centered decagonal prime, and self prime. 211 is the smallest prime separated by 10 or more from the nearest primes (199 and 223). It is thus a balanced prime and an ''isolated prime''. 211 is a repdigit in base 14 (111). Multiplying its digits, it is still a prime (2), and adding its digits, it is square (4). Rearranging its digits, 211 becomes 121, which also is a square. Adding any two of its digits will be prime (2 or 3). 211 is a super-prime.

Prime Number
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, or , involve 5 itself. However, 4 is composite because it is a product (2 × 2) in which both numbers are smaller than 4. Primes are central in number theory because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every natural number greater than 1 is either a prime itself or can be factorized as a product of primes that is unique up to their order. The property of being prime is called primality. A simple but slow method of checking the primality of a given number n, called trial division, tests whether n is a multiple of any integer between 2 and \sqrt. Faster algorithms include the Miller–Rabin primality test, which is fast but has a small chance of error, and the AKS primality test, which always pr ...
