Apéry-Constant Prime


An Apéry-constant prime is a prime number formed by the concatenation of the initial decimal digits of Apéry's constant zeta(3), including the initial 1 and omitting the decimal point. It is a special case of a constant prime.

The integer formed from the first n digits is

 p_n=|_10^(n-1)zeta(3)_|,

where |_x_| is the floor function. The initial lengths giving a prime number or probable prime are 10, 55, 109, 141, ... (OEIS A119334). The first two values are 1202056903, 1202056903159594285399738161511449990764986292340498881, ... (OEIS A119333).

These decimal prefixes of Apéry's constant differ from Apéry number primes, which are prime terms of the Apéry number sequences A_n and B_n.
