EXAMPLE
|
We start with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ...
as 1 + 2 = 3 (prime) we erase those two digits; we are left with:
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ...
as 3 + 4 = 7 (prime) we erase those two digits; we are left with:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ...
as 5 + 6 = 11 (prime) we erase those two digits; we are left with:
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ...
as 8 + 9 = 17 (prime) we erase those two digits; we are left with:
7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ...
as 1 + 1 = 2 (prime) we erase those two digits; we are left with:
7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ...
as 1 + 2 = 3 (prime) we erase those two digits; we are left with:
7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ...
as 1 + 4 = 5 (prime) we erase those two digits; we are left with:
7, 10, 13, 15, 16, 17, ...
as 1 + 6 = 7 (prime) we erase those two digits; we are left with:
7, 10, 13, 15, 17, ... etc.
What remains is this sequence.
