Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Primes in carryless digital root arithmetic in base 10.
%C 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).
%C 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.
%C All numbers of the form 100...01 (with k >= 0 zeros) are prime, so there are infinitely many primes.
