Sums of all Squares
 

2^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + ... + p^2 = 10[sup]m[/sup]K

What is the smallest prime p such that
the sum of squares of all primes up to p
is a multiple of 10 (or 100 or 1000).

[SPOILER]s=0;forprime(p=2,1000,s=s+p^2;if(Mod(s,10)==0, print(p, ":",s)))
907:37464550
967:44505630
977:46403000
991:48351370[/SPOILER]

Nice and simple and quick reply -- thanks.

I won't ask about extending the list to 10000, etc. .....

The next term (if one exists) is more than 4 trillion.

Not yet in the OEIS.

I am sorry, but the terms do not match anything in the table.

If your sequence is of general interest, please send it to me using the [URL="http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/Submit.html"]form provided[/URL] and I will (probably) add it to the data base! Include a brief description and if possible enough terms to fill 3 lines on the screen. I need a minimum of 4 terms.[/quote]I think it qualifies. Also, I'm fond of OEIS entries with relatively large initial terms -- especially when the next few terms are so closely spaced as in this one. (Might it set some record in that regard -- highest ratio of initial term to average spacing of next n terms, for n = 3?)

I'd be glad to submit it, but I think it should be one of you guys.

How about generalizing to other bases?

I think CRG's sequence is more "worthy". It is also the solution of OP.

[QUOTE=cheesehead;208799]How about generalizing to other bases?[/QUOTE]

I can think of two ways to generalize: to other bases and other powers (other than squares).

[quote=axn;208810]I think CRG's sequence is more "worthy".[/quote][spoiler]Even with the omitted and repeated (just a typo) terms? :smile:[/spoiler]

What I had in mind was a submission with the best of both your contributions.

[quote]I can think of two ways to generalize: to other bases and other powers (other than squares).[/quote]Oh, wow ... bases 2-16 or so, powers to, say, ninth ==> 135 sequences.

[QUOTE=cheesehead;208818]Even with the omitted and repeated terms?[/QUOTE]
That sequence is the first occurrence of 10^n. 977 repeats (not a typo!) because it ends in 000 and comes before any other 00. So it stands at positions 2 & 3.

EDIT:- Mine is merely the first four occurrences of 10

(Sorry, CRG)

But that doubles the potential number of sequences. 270.

:blush: That's *billion*, not trillion. Now my search limit is 50 billion, giving me

The nth term is very roughly n * log 10 * 10^n, so I was pretty lucky getting that last term. The next one will probably need over 2 trillion. Anyone up to the task? I don't actually have a good segmented sieve coded at the moment...

I bit. :smile:

I have [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=209641&postcount=359]recently[/url] spent some time with my sieve, so decided to give this a shot.

I just started a run to 2 trillion. Here is the output so far:

With these timing trends, should have a result in 7 hours or so.
