So there are a couple of ways to adjust. We can look for primes that are n digits long and use the first n numerals, for example 2143 is a four digit prime using the numerals 1,2,3, and 4. The problem with this approach is that there are only two of them. The four digit one is shown, and a seven digit one is
7652413
. Any number made up of the first 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, or ten digits will be divisible by three.That leaves a couple of options. I got started thinking about these when I was wrote a blog awhile back called "The Game of Primes ." The object was to create a string of primes by starting with one prime number and then adding a digit each time to make the string a longer prime, but using any of the ten decimal numerals as a digit. So you could start with 2, then add 3 to get 23, etc. I only got to seven, you may be able to do better. There is a nine digit prime (several of them) that has no repeated numerals. I found 576849103 is prime and so is 987654103. Having pretty much reached the ends of my manual calculating limits, I asked on twitter, "Is there a nine digit prime using distinct digits that includes a two?"
Faster than a nano-bullet I got a response from jomo
Realizing I had a computation wizard on the line (at least relative to me) I wondered aloud, (or A tweet)
"Is it possible to form an eleven digit Pandigital Prime (ie repeating only one of the 0-9)" Again at something akin to the speed of light, he responded with two examples; "First pandigital prime with 11 digits is 10123457689, next one is 10123465789 and so on..."
Then, realizing he had a rube on line whose non-programming nose could easily be pushed in the mud, he sent me a list of several... you can count them, and lock this away if you are looking for 11-digit primes...
Here is the first few, but the whole list he has graciously placed here. List of 11 digit pandigital primes filtered from ~10 million primes
10123457689 10123465789 10123465897 10123485679 10123485769 10123496857 10123547869 10123548679 10123568947 10123578649 10123586947 10123598467 10123654789 10123684759 10123685749 10123694857 10123746859 10123784569 10123846597 10123849657 10123854679 10123876549 10123945687 10123956487 10123965847 10123984657 10124356789 10124358697 10124365879 10124365987
