Illustrating each count of composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5

Following on from my previous post, I will now illustrate each count of composite numbers no divisible by 2, 3, or 5 in a century, except for those not known to occur.

Some of these tables have been shown on this blog at ‘The 16,719th century and other prime-free sequences’ from almost a decade ago.

For a few counts affected by the “eight-digit gap” — those from nine to eleven — I will show those centuries immediately below and above the “eight-digit gap” in a subsequent table for more perspective. Centuries with fewer than nine composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 also show the effect of the “eight-digit gap”, but this is obscured because no century below the eight-digit gap has six or eight composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5, whilst none with seven larger than the second century are known — and of course none wiht the theoretically possible four or five composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 have yet been found.

In the case of the 29,674^th century, I have included the first decade of the following century because of the remarkable prime richness of the 100 numbers ending with 2,967,410. The eighteen primes in those 100 numbers is not equalled between 113,180 and 341,078,531,679 (that is, greater than 341 billion, or over one hundred thousand times larger in magnitude than the 29,674^th century), and no consecutive multiples of 100 between 200 and 122,853,771,370,899 contain as many as eighteen primes between them. Moreover, as Brian Kehrig noted in correspondence with me, seven rather than eight is the number of digits for which there should be fewest centuries or sequences exceptionally rich in prime numbers, making the sequence from 2,967,310 to 2,967,410 even more exceptional.

The century from 98,195,300 to 98,195,399 is still within the eight-digit gap — after all, it contains eight digits and not more or less — but the eleven composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 is the fewest since the 29,674^th century and shows one moving away from the “core” of that gap. There are four centuries between 98,195,400 and 839,296,299 containing only eleven composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5, but it would be superfluous to include all of them and the 981,954^th century should be reasonably illustrative.

An alternative view of primes in centuries

The OEIS sequences at A038822 and A186311 have long been familiar to me ever since I first studied primes as a high school student reading the old Mathematics Around Us: Skills and Applications book from my primary school years. As a teenager, I would attempt to factor numbers beyond the prime table my late uncle gave me and memorises the primes up to 2,000 — something which I like to practice with my mobile on buses and even to quiz others with no interest in primes about.

When I studied primes in the second millennium, I notices very early on that there was a discrepancy between centuries in the number of possible primes, although at the time I naturally could not recognise the exact extent of the actual limits found in sequence A186311. I noticed that

• every third century had 28 numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 —
• I knew elementary divisibility tests for the prime numbers 2, 3, and 5 as a child, so I knew immediately numbers which passed those tests could not be prime
• the other two centuries in each set of 3 had only 26 numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5
• that centuries with 28 numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 began with a number of the form 300k+100
• that centuries with 26 numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 began with a number of the form 300k or 300k+200

As I memorised primes, I also memorised the factors of composite numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 — all of them up to 2,000 and sporadically up to 10,000 and even beyond in some special cases. Although I was not aware of it until recently, I early on noticed clusters with unusually many or few numbers whose factorisations required memorisation — in layman’s terms, composite numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5.

It is only recently, when I have come to study prime-rich centuries beyond the “eight-digit gap” (in layman’s terms, numbers greater than 839,296,300) that I have attempted to actually sequence the number of composite numbers not divisible by 2, 3 or 5 in each century. The sequence of number of composite numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 between 100k and 100k+99 begins thus:

3, 7, 10, 10, 11, 12, 10, 14, 11, 12, 12, 14, 11, 17, 9, 14, 13, 14, 14, 15, 12, 16, 13, 11, 16, 17, 11, 12, 16, 15, 14, 18, 15, 11, 17, 12, 13, 16, 15, 15, 13, 17, 10, 19, 15, 14, 16, 14, 18, 13, 14, 15, 18, 16, 13, 15, 14, 16, 12, 19, 14, 17, 13, 11, 20, 15, 16, 16, 14, 13, 19, 16, 15, 19, 15, 11, 16, 16, 16, 18, 15, 16, 14, 17, 18, 16, 13, 15, 15, 17, 15, 16, 15, 15, 13, 19, 13, 17, 14, 17, 17, 14, 16, 16, 16, 18, 16, 15, 16, 18, 16, 15, 18, 16, 15, 19, 18, 17, 16, 13, 17, 17, 14, 17, 15, 14, 14, 18, 17, 14, 17, 14, 17, 18, 15, 18, 16, 14, 17, 17, 16, 18, 21, 17, 14, 16, 16, 12, 16, 18, 17, 16, 14, 14, 17, 18, 13, 16, 17, 16, 16, 17, 18, 19, 14, 19, 15, 19, 17, 16, 15, 17, 19, 14, 13, 18, 18, 16, 20, 12, 16, 17, 15, 15, 17, 16, 20, 17, 21, 18, 17, 19, 15, 19, 10, 15, 21, 16, 16, 16, 17, 13, 19, 14, 18, 18, 19, 14, 19, 17, 15, 15, 19, 15, 18, 13, 17, 17, 15, 18, 15, 14, 17, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 18, 19, 10, 18, 18, 17, 20, 16, 14, 17, 15, 17, 13, 16, 19, 18, 18, 18, 17, 20, 18, 15, 20, 15, 19, 16, 16, 18, 16, 16, 18, 16, 18, 15, 17, 16, 16, 20, 16, 15, 16, 16, 16, 20, 16, 21, 18, 18, 17, 14, 17, 15, 17, 19, 17, 21, 15, 14, 14, 16, 17, 20, 17, 15, 18, 15, 17, 18, 18, 19, 18, 19, 17, 16, 17, 17, 19, 17, 17, 20, 13, 18, 18, 14, 15, 16, 22, 16, 18, 16, 19, 22, 13, 17, 19, 13, 15, 17, 17, 16, 20, 13, 16, 18, 20, 14, 18, 14, 16, 16, 16, 18, 22, 17, 15, 17, 16, 16, 17, 17, 16, 21, 16, 17, 19, 17, 17, 15, 22, 19, 16, 16, 16, 20, 16, 17, 19, 15, 16, 16, 17, 15, 18, 18, 19, 16, 18, 11, 18, 21, 16, 19, 20, 17, 18, 16, 20, 21, 14, 15, 19, 16, 18, 16, 17, 14, 21, 17, 18, 17, 14, 18, 19, 15, 18, 23, 16, 16, 21, 19, 13, 20, 17, 15, 15, 18, 19, 18, 13, 19, 17, 14, 16, 18, 16, 16, 13, 19, 17, 15, 18, 16, 19, 19, 18, 21, 17, 18, 18, 15, 21, 17, 16, 16, 15, 20, 20, 17, 15, 16, 19, 16, 20, 17, 19, 16, 20, 16, 17, 21, 15, 19, 19, 16, 19, 19, 16, 17, 17, 18, 15, 22, 19, 16, 19, 16, 18, 16, 17, 15, 20, 15, 19, 18, 19, 18, 16, 17, 17, 18, 15, 20, 18, 14, 17, 19, 15, 18, 18, 17, 16, 18, 16, 16, 19, 16, 19, 16, 21, 18, 19, 17, 19, 18, 17, 18, 14, 15, 16, 20, 15, 17, 20, 16, 17, 19, 22, 14, 20, 17, 17, 17, 17, 15, 19, 19, 18, 19, 14, 18, 17, 18, 18, 19, 20, 17, 15, 15, 17, 18, 20, 17, 19, 19, 16, 18, 20, 19, 14, 18, 14, 18, 17, 17, 19, 19, 15, 16, 18, 16, 17, 13, 18, 17, 16, 16, 22, 18, 17, 16, 17, 18, 18, 15, 18, 18, 16, 19, 18, 17, 23, 16, 14, 16, 18, 16, 15, 21, 14, 16, 23, 19, 17, 18, 17, 18, 21, 21, 13, 17, 19, 17, 19, 20, 18, 20, 16, 17, 15, 19, 19, 18, 16, 17, 20, 19, 17, 19, 17, 18, 20, 15, 19, 20, 20, 13, 17, 17, 13, 17, 18, 19, 19, 18, 19, 20, 18, 20, 17, 19, 18, 20, 16, 14, 20, 18, 17, 16, 16, 16, 18, 17, 18, 19, 22, 17, 19, 16, 19, 18, 17, 17, 19, 15, 16, 21, 13, 16, 21, 15, 17, 16, 19, 20, 19, 20, 17, 19, 18, 16, 19, 19, 18, 18, 18, 18, 14, 23, 20, 21, 16, 19, 18, 14, 16, 19, 17, 17, 19, 19, 17, 14, 19, 17, 19, 13, 15, 19, 20, 18, 16, 15, 17, 20, 15, 18, 20, 20, 15, 19, 18, 14, 18, 20, 21, 18, 18, 16, 17, 19, 17, 21, 17, 16, 18, 17, 18, 17, 20, 14, 17, 20, 18, 20, 16, 16, 22, 14, 16, 16, 21, 16, 20, 19, 16, 21, 17, 17, 19, 19, 17, 20, 17, 19, 16, 17, 17, 15, 16, 15, 20, 19, 19, 17, 19, 19, 20, 15, 19, 19, 16, 19, 23, 15, 18, 16, 19, 19, 14, 23, 13, 17, 21, 16, 17, 18, 18, 22, 13, 16, 20, 17, 12, 19, 18, 18, 22, 16, 16, 18, 19, 16, 17, 17, 16, 19, 17, 17, 20, 15, 19, 22, 16, 22, 15, 19, 14, 21, 18, 18, 21, 18, 18, 18, 18, 17, 16, 18, 18, 19, 19, 18, 18, 18, 17, 20, 17, 18, 17, 19, 17, 22, 19, 15, 16, 15, 18, 18, 21, 18, 21, 17, 19, 18, 16, 20, 19, 13, 14, 19, 18, 17, 20, 22, 19, 21, 18, 21, 19, 18, 13, 21, 15, 18, 18, 17, 18, 16, 15, 20, 18, 17, 13, 18, 17, 19, 19, 18, 17, 22, 18, 16, 21, 14, 18, 18, 17, 18, 23, 19, 17, 18, 19, 17, 18, 13, 17, 20, 14, 16, 17, 18, 18, 18, 16, 18, 18, 18, 21, 21, 18, 14, 20, 19, 18, 17, 17, 15, 21, 17, 17, 20, 16, 17, 16, 19, 15, 19, 20, 14, 19, 16, 18, 21, 16, 20, 16, 19, 20, 16, 19, 17, 21, 16, 21, 18, 19, 15, 21, 20, 15, 20, 19, 21, 19, 17, 15, 20, 19, 18, 16, 15, 18, 17, 18, 18, 21, 17, 18, 18, 16, 18, 22, 17, 18, 19, 18, 16, 20, 19, ...

No century for n = 4 or n = 5 is yet known, and none beyond the second century for n = 7. Dickson’s conjecture from 1904 does imply centuries with 4 or 5 composite numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 exist, although none have yet been discovered.

If a century has the maximum 23 primes, there are 14 possible patterns with 5 composite numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5, and 6 with 3. I have not seen the figures for 22-prime centuries, but the six 23-prime patterns with 3 composite numbers not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 must allow for a century with 4 such numbers by deletion of one prime.

As a last note for this post, I will tabulate the number of centuries with n composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 for each hundred thousand in the first million:

The pattern we see here, although much more limited than the study of primes in centuries by James Glaisher from the late 1870s, is very similar to Glaisher’s findings:

1. in the first hundred thousand centuries with seventeen and eighteen composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 are virtually equally the most numerous
2. in the second and third hundred thousand centuries with eighteen composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 are clearly the most numerous
3. in the remaining hundred thousands centuries with nineteen composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 are the most numerous.
• however, in the eighth and ninth hundred thousand centuries with twenty composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 are virtually equal in number to those with nineteen
4. in the whole first million centuries with nineteen composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 are most numerous, followed by those with eighteen and twenty such numbers (almost equal) and those with seventeen and twenty-one composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 (also almost equal).

Glaisher found that in the first million centuries with eight primes were most numerous. These may contain either eighteen or twenty composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5. A century with nineteen composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 may have either seven or nine primes — the total number of seven- and nine-prime centuries in the first million is indeed greater than the total number of any other pair of prime counts separated by two. If we follow from Glaisher’s table, we would predict — though it would be extremely laborious to check with the tools I possess — that centuries with 21 composites not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 would become the most numerous from the sixth million, and centuries with 20 from the third to the fifth or sixth.
