OpenStudy (albertrea):

lol

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

for smallest N first 3 digits would be 113 - dont know if that helps!!!

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

so - maybe its 32?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

1131131132

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

assuming 113 is prime - i think it is

OpenStudy (albertrea):

the last two could be 2,3 or one 1,3 , what you thing?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

r u saying those are the options?

OpenStudy (albertrea):

sorry , the options are 11, 13, 21, 23,31

OpenStudy (albertrea):

just saying that give that they mean the form of a prime number , now that I rethink it, its just anything beside two that I narrow it down

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

i'm puzzled - there has to be at least one 2 in the number right? my number cant be right because 132 is divisible by 2

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

i cant see where the 2 would be - maybe it has to be the first number - yes it has to be

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

so how about 2113113113

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

i think 211 is prime

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

and 311 and 113

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

131 is also prime i think we have it guys the last 3 numbers cant be 111, nor 131 - they must be 113

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

last two digits are 13
