A215051 Number of primes of the form 1 + b^32 for 1 < b < 10^n. 12

%I #38 Oct 18 2018 11:02:41

%S 0,3,22,146,1062,8963,74951,651537,5740807,51389252

%N Number of primes of the form 1 + b^32 for 1 < b < 10^n.

%C Primes 1 + b^32 are a form of generalized Fermat primes.

%C It is conjectured that a(n) is asymptotic to 0.112903*li(10^n).

%F a(n) = A214956(32*n) - 1.

%e a(2) = 3 because the Fermat numbers F_5(b) where b<10^2 are prime only for b = 30, 54, 96.
