In number theory, the '''home prime HP(n)''' of an integer '''n''' greater than 1 is the prime number obtained by repeatedly factoring the increasing concatenation of prime factors including repetitions.
 
The traditional notation has the prefix "HP" and a postfix count of the number of iterations until the Homehome prime is found (if the count is greater than 0), for instance HP4(2) === HP22(1) === 211 is the same as saying home_prime(the home prime of 4) needs 2 iterations and is the same as home_prime(the home prime of 22) which needs 1 iteration, and (both) resolve to 211, a prime.
 
Prime numbers are their own Home prime;
