I think that's a lost cause, there is no set of numbers which exclude prime number nth[next].nocat2 said:Ultimately, my goal is to describe the nth prime!
A prime number is a positive integer that is only divisible by 1 and itself. In other words, it has no other factors besides 1 and itself.
To determine if a number is prime, you can check if it is divisible by any number besides 1 and itself. If it is not divisible by any other number, then it is prime.
A "nice grouping" of primes refers to a set of prime numbers that have a specific relationship or pattern, such as being consecutive or having a certain difference between them. These groupings can provide insight into the distribution and behavior of prime numbers.
The range of "under 105" is likely chosen for convenience and simplicity in showcasing a specific set of prime numbers. Additionally, this range is small enough to easily see patterns and relationships between the primes, but large enough to still be interesting and informative.
Studying prime numbers can provide insight into the fundamental properties of numbers and their relationships. It has practical applications in fields such as cryptography and number theory, and can also lead to unexpected discoveries and advancements in mathematics.
