Generating a specific list of intsgers

2018-08-24 Thread tomusatov
I am looking for a program able to output a set of integers meeting the following requirement: a(n) is the minimum k > 0 such that n*2^k - 3 is prime, or 0 if no such k exists Could anyone get me started? (I am an amateur) Thanks, Musatov -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-lis

Yes, I will try it! Thank you kindly. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm sorry I did not correctly state the subset I was after: "Composite numbers that are one less than twice a composite." The output would begin: DATA 15, 27, 35, 39, 49, 50, 51, 55, 63, 65, 69, 75, 77, 87, 91, 95, 99, 111, 115, 119, 123, 125, 129, 135, 143, 147, 153, 155, 159, 161, 169, 17

Thanks, I think that is an interesting tactic. From there what might the language look like to filter out the composites that are not one less than twice another composite number? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thank you very much! Do you also know how I might slightly alter to composite numbers that are one less than twice a composite number? 15 would be the first number Since 8 is composite then 2*8=16 16 - 1=15 Is composite -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Program to output a subset of the composite numbers

2018-08-15 Thread tomusatov
I am not terribly familiar with Python, but am currently authoring an integer sequence for www.oeis.org and was wondering if anyone in the community could help me with authoring a Python program that outputs, "Composite numbers that are one less than a composite number." Thanks! Musatov -- htt
