Examples of Integers such that Difference with Power of 2 is always Prime
The following positive integers are believed to be the only values of $n$ such that:
- $\forall k > 0: n - 2^k$
is prime whenever it is (strictly) positive:
- $4, 7, 15, 21, 45, 75, 105$
4
- $\forall k > 0: 4 - 2^k$
is prime whenever it is (strictly) positive.
7
- $\forall k > 0: 7 - 2^k$
is prime whenever it is (strictly) positive.
15
- $\forall k > 0: 15 - 2^k$
is prime whenever it is (strictly) positive.
21
- $\forall k > 0: 21 - 2^k$
is prime whenever it is (strictly) positive.
45
- $\forall k > 0: 45 - 2^k$
is prime whenever it is (strictly) positive.
75
- $\forall k > 0: 75 - 2^k$
is prime whenever it is (strictly) positive.
105
- $\forall k > 0: 105 - 2^k$
is prime whenever it is (strictly) positive.
