(5 * 1025)(5 * 10[sup]25)[/sup]??

When it's about 10↑(10↑25) digits?? Woah. Nothing until then. For now, let's consider 5 the smallest value for which this is true.

Not that bad -- (5 * 1025)5 * 10[sup]25[/sup] has 'only' about 1027 digits. But it's certainly far beyond the range that could be tested (or even stored!).

If the counterexample is so large that it cannot be tested, let's simply assume 5 is the smallest.

what is the probability that there is a prime below 1,000,000 (for example) digits?

that means we'd need to check above on average 10^999993-10^999994

An example of a prime below 106 digits is 912646 * 79833620160 + 1 (118995 digits).

And; to be random; I think someone posted here that there was a 337-digit composite discovered that was pseudoprime to all primes below 200.

what is the probability that there is a prime of the form 5*b^b+1 below 1,000,000 (for example) digits?

See post 176. There should be none smaller than 1027 digits.

no.we'd expect ONE below that,what is the chance,that,that one is below 1,000,000 digits?
