    Proof shows reciprocal sum of prime-prefix-free numbers converges●The reciprocal sum of the prime-prefix-free numbers converges [pdf]YhnLifeFood1810 min ago

    A new paper by mathematician Jonathan D. Brundan establishes that the reciprocal sum of the prime-prefix-free numbers — integers whose base-10 representation contains no prime number as a leading substring — converges to a finite value. The result settles a question analogous to the Kempner series of reciprocals of numbers lacking a given digit, drawing interest from readers following number theory and recreational mathematics.
