n + 41, which yields primes for −40 ≤
n < 40.
Forty-one is the sum of two squares, 4
2 + 5
2. Adding up the sums of divisors for 1 through 7 yields 41.
41 is the smallest integer whose reciprocal has a 5-digit repetend. That is a consequence of the fact that 41 is a factor of 99999.
It is a centered square number.
