%N A187868 Primes of the form 100^k - 10^k + 1.
%C A187868 These primes correspond to k = 2, 4, 6, and 8. There are no other primes of this form for k up to 10000. These primes appear in A187614 because the decimal representation of their reciprocal contains only the digits 0, 1, 8, and 9.
%C A187868 Because these numbers are values of the sixth cyclotomic polynomial, by Theorem 1 of Golomb, the only k that can produce primes are the 3-smooth numbers, 2^i*3^j (A003586).
%C A187868 Next term has k > 1000000. - _Robert Gelhar_, Aug 20 2020
