Chen prime

[edit]

Does the fact that all of them are Chen prime has something to do with their definition (ie do they have to be Chen prime) or is it just coincidence? I notice that the sequence only skips five primes, three of which are Chen primes. 84.197.178.75 (talk) 21:26, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why separate the first 11 from the other 4?

[edit]

Why is the sentence "There are precisely fifteen supersingular prime numbers: the first eleven primes (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31), as well as 41, 47, 59, and 71" constructed this way? I don't know anything much about this mathematical entity but if there isn't specially about the eleven, why not list them all - there are only fifteen in total? (My only interest is that today I celebrate another lap around the Sun , which happens to be a supersingular prime it would seem ) martyvis (talk) 04:53, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure if you realised that the point is that the list includes all primes up to 31, plus 4 others. Elroch (talk) 23:32, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
