Every odd perfect number has at least 8 distinct prime factors. [Hagis] 8 times the 8th prime has a digit sum of 8. A prime quadruple is four consecutive primes, such that the first and last differ by 8. - 1 + 23 x 45678 is prime. [Kulsha] The smallest number which is the sum of two distinct odd primes. The rightmost nonzero digit in 4013! (4013 is prime!) is 8. [Ottens] The smallest cube which is the sum of a twin prime pair {3 + 5}. [Trotter] The smallest number which is both a sum of prime squares and a prime cube (8 = 22 + 22 = 23). [Kulsha] The absolute difference between two odd prime squares is always a multiple of 8. [Capelle] A Gaussian prime is a Gaussian integer p with exactly 8 divisors. [Smith] Left-truncatable primes p of length n with the additional property that no prime with length n + 1 can have its leftmost digit removed to produce p are called Henry VIII primes. 8 ones plus 8 is prime. [Opao] 8 is the smallest sum of two factorials of distinct primes (2! + 3!). [Gevisier]
The largest number in which n is exactly twice
Let p and q be odd primes. If p divides 2q - 1, then p The largest composite number such that all its proper divisors + 1 are primes. [Murthy] (108 - 8)/8 is prime. [Luhn] (108+8 - 8)/8 is also prime. Thanks Mr. Luhn! [Poo Sung] The first 'not possible' occurrence of summing k consecutive primes such that the total is prime happens when k = 8. [De Geest] No Fibonacci number greater than 8 is ever of the form p-1 or p+1 where p is a prime number. [Honsberger] The smallest composite Fibonacci number. [Gupta] The 8th Fibonacci number plus and minus 8 is prime, i.e., F(8)-8 and F(8)+8 are primes. It is the smallest Fibonacci number to have this property. [Opao] The product of the first k nonzero Fibonacci numbers + 1 is prime for k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Eight eights raised to the eighth power plus one is prime. I.e., 88888888^8 + 1 is prime. [Opao] The first difference between consecutive primes of 8 is after 8*11+1. This is the last maximal gap of 4 consecutive even numbers. [Nicholson] (8^8+88888)/8 is prime. Note that eight 8s are used. [Firoozbakht]
( 8 is the smallest composite number which can be represented as sum of two primes (i.e., 3 + 5) as well as sum of two composite numbers (i.e., 4 + 4). [Capelle] 8 is the only single-digit cube of a prime. [Silva] Let R(n) = (10n - 1)/9 and Tn = the nth triangular number. The first 8 numbers generated by the formula TR(n) + 1 are prime. [Wesolowski]
