Very Large and Easy-to-Remember Prime Numbers
There was a recent article about asking people to name a prime number. One answer was given as 2^31-1; however, the responder was asked to recite the digits. He couldn't remember the digits of 2^31-1, which are 2,147,483,647. His friend, Neil Sloane, offered another large prime: 12,345,678,910,987,654,321. It is easy to remember because one just needs to count from 1 to 10 and then back down to 1. The original story is recounted in this Scientific American article: These Prime Numbers Are So Memorable That People Hunt for Them.
The number cited above is found in the OEIS sequence A350153.
Other related sequences are:
A048847, Primes formed by concatenation of first k odd numbers.
