Well happy New Year everyone. I've been thinking about the upcoming year "2021" and found something interesting. Reduced to its
prime factors it becomes 43*47. Yes, it resolves into 2 CONSECUTIVE 2 digit prime numbers, which does NOT happen that often. The last time this occurred was in 1927 (41 * 47). However these are NOT consecutive prime numbers. (There's another prime number between 41 and 47). If we go back to 1763 (41 * 43), it resolves into two 2-digit CONSECUTIVE primes AND they are TWIN primes (prime numbers with a difference of 2). And now, here's the question: Can anyone find some interesting factorizations of upcoming years? For example, the year 2033 = 19*107 and the year 2041 = 13*157. In each case the factors are less than 10. Obviously, this is not THE most vital question, so don't spend too much time on it. (Although I've been told that a solution will finally bring about World Peace!!! ) LOL
