Problem

Verify the following:(a) There exist infinitely many primes ending in 33, such as 233, 433...

Verify the following:

(a) There exist infinitely many primes ending in 33, such as 233, 433, 733, 1033,….

[Hint: Apply Dirichlet’s theorem.]


(b) There exist infinitely many primes that do not belong to any pair of twin primes.

[Hint: Consider the arithmetic progression 21k + 5 for k= 1,2,….]


(c) There exists a prime ending in as many consecutive 1’s as desired.

[Hint: To obtain a prime ending in n consecutive 1’s, consider the arithmetic progression 10nk + Rn for k= 1,2,….]


(d) There exist infinitely many primes that contain but do not end in the block of digits 123456789.

[Hint: Consider the arithmetic progression 1011k + 1234567891 for k = 1,2,….]
