Line 2:
These are not Frobenius primes. Indeed, some numbers of this series aren't prime.
According to OEIS, they are known as ''the Frobenius number of the numerical semi-group generated by prime(n) and prime(n+1)'' (as noted in the OEIS entry A037165 by Victoria A. Sapko). They are also known as ''Frobenius numbers''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:57, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
: Thanks. I've gone ahead and moved the page to <code>Frobenius numbers</code>. --[[User:Chunes|Chunes]] ([[User talk:Chunes|talk]]) 05:25, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
:: However, it appears that Frobenius numbers are quite a bit more general than this. This sequence is the Frobenius numbers for a very specific input. --[[User:Chunes|Chunes]] ([[User talk:Chunes|talk]]) 05:35, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
== task clarification ==
It appears that when the task's author stated:
<big> a(n) = prime(n)*prime(n+1) - prime(n) - prime(n+1), where '''prime(n)
it was meant to mean:
<big> a(n) = prime(n)*prime(n+1) - prime(n) - prime(n+1), where '''a(n)
This is based on the output for the '''Ring''' example's output. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:33, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
== task wording ==
I think that the task description would read better with:
<big> FrobeniusNumber(n) = prime(n)*prime(n+1) - prime(n) - prime(n+1), where '''FrobeniusNumber(n) < 10,000''' </big>
instead of using '''a(n)'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:48, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
