wee discrepancy
Is it possible to be a little more specific regarding the "wee discrepancy" with the F# version? <lang fsharp> printfn "%d" (Seq.item 3999 (Brazilian())) </lang> prints 4618--Nigel Galloway (talk) 17:05, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
- OK I think I've found it--Nigel Galloway (talk) 17:37, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
- I also noticed the difference two days ago, and I assumed that my REXX version was incorrect and was trying to find what the problem was in my computer program; I was hoping somebody else would calculate the 100,000th Brazilian number and verify it (or not). -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 19:23, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
some observations not proofs
I tried to check the maximal base needed for an odd brazilian number.
If a number is brazilian the maximal base to test is always less equal number / 3.
If a number is prime and brazilian then the maximal base is square root of number.
