Primes from the sum of the first n repunits $1+11+111+1111+11111+…$

$begingroup$


Is there prime number of the form $1+11+111+1111+11111+...$. I've checked it up to first 2000 repunits, but i found none. If $R_1=1$, $R_2=1+11$, $R_3=1+11+111$, $R_n=1+11+111+...+$nth repunit. What is the smallest n such that $R_n$ is prime ?

    The first one is at $n=2497$, you just missed it!



    Do[If[PrimeQ[(10^(n+1)-9n-10)/81], Print[n]], {n, 10^4}]
    (* 2497 *)
    (* 3301 *)
    ...


    The direct formula for the $n^{text{th}}$ term is from



    Sum[10^j, {i, 0, n - 1}, {j, 0, i}]
    (* 1/81 (-10 + 10^(1 + n) - 9 n) *)

      To give some more examples of solutions, using Roman's direct formula for conciseness (alternately you can do something like r = 10*r+1; N += r in the loop).



      Pari/GP (test is AES BPSW):



      ? for(n=1,6000,ispseudoprime((10^(n+1)-9*n-10)/81) && print(n))
      2497
      3301
      time = 2min, 5,916 ms.


      Perl/ntheory (v0.74) (test is ES BPSW):



      $ time perl -Mntheory=:all -E 'is_prob_prime(divint(powint(10,$_+1)-9*$_-10,81)) and say for 1..6000;'
      2497
      3301
      real 0m44.473s


      PFGW (test is base 3 Fermat):



      $ echo -e "ABC2 (10^($a+1)-9*$a-10)/81na: from 1 to 6000" > repsum.txt
      $
      time ./pfgw64 -k -u0 -f50 repsum.txt
      (10^(2497+1)-9*2497-10)/81 is 3-PRP! (0.0793s+0.0362s)
      (10^(3301+1)-9*3301-10)/81 is 3-PRP! (0.1333s+0.0615s)
      real 0m42.963s


      As the size gets larger, PFGW will get much faster relative to the others. E.g. times on Macbook Pro (2015) for checking n from 6001 to 7000 the times are 88.9s for Pari/GP, 26.0s for Perl/ntheory, and 13.4s for PFGW. Albeit for any discovered values we'd want to run another more strict test such as BPSW.

                        To give some more examples of solutions, using Roman's direct formula for conciseness (alternately you can do something like r = 10*r+1; N += r in the loop).



                        Pari/GP (test is AES BPSW):



                        ? for(n=1,6000,ispseudoprime((10^(n+1)-9*n-10)/81) && print(n))
                        2497
                        3301
                        time = 2min, 5,916 ms.


                        Perl/ntheory (v0.74) (test is ES BPSW):



                        $ time perl -Mntheory=:all -E 'is_prob_prime(divint(powint(10,$_+1)-9*$_-10,81)) and say for 1..6000;'
                        2497
                        3301
                        real 0m44.473s


                        PFGW (test is base 3 Fermat):



                        $ echo -e "ABC2 (10^($a+1)-9*$a-10)/81na: from 1 to 6000" > repsum.txt
                        $
                        time ./pfgw64 -k -u0 -f50 repsum.txt
                        (10^(2497+1)-9*2497-10)/81 is 3-PRP! (0.0793s+0.0362s)
                        (10^(3301+1)-9*3301-10)/81 is 3-PRP! (0.1333s+0.0615s)
                        real 0m42.963s


                        As the size gets larger, PFGW will get much faster relative to the others. E.g. times on Macbook Pro (2015) for checking n from 6001 to 7000 the times are 88.9s for Pari/GP, 26.0s for Perl/ntheory, and 13.4s for PFGW. Albeit for any discovered values we'd want to run another more strict test such as BPSW.

                            time ./pfgw64 -k -u0 -f50 repsum.txt
                            (10^(2497+1)-9*2497-10)/81 is 3-PRP! (0.0793s+0.0362s)

                            As the size gets larger, PFGW will get much faster relative to the others. E.g. times on Macbook Pro (2015) for checking n from 6001 to 7000 the times are 88.9s for Pari/GP, 26.0s for Perl/ntheory, and 13.4s for PFGW. Albeit for any discovered values we'd want to run another more strict test such as BPSW.
