%N A230168 Primes of the form 45*2^n - 1.
%C A230168 Conjecture: each term in the sequence ends with digit 9.
%C A230168 The expression k*2^n - 1 with k = 45 yields more primes than any other value of k = 1 to  100 and n = 1000.
%C A230168 The term a(44) has 939 digits; a(45) has 1026 digits; a(50) has 2706 digits. - Bajpai
%C A230168 Each term is congruent to 89 mod 90 and therefore each term in the sequence ends in 9. This is a very simple consequence of the definition. - _Alonso del Arte_, Oct 11 2013
