maybe I'm missing something why is c limited to 1 to b-1 ? I can figure b^n-1 as the upper limit I can see k semi being limited to 1 to b-1 if you allow c to possibly go over that limit though.

you can sieve out a lot depending on what you do to sieve but most if not all have a thread that talks about them.
