COMMENTS
Addition and multiplication are the same as in school, that is, done in base 10, except that there are no carries and when individual digits are added or multiplied the result is replaced by its digital root (A010888).
The units are {1,2,4,5,7,8}. A prime is a number N whose only factorizations are of the form N = u*M where u is a unit.
All numbers of the form 100...01 (with k >= 0 zeros) are prime, so there are infinitely many primes.
