Line 16:
Rather than expanding the repunit out as a giant list of '''1'''s or converting to base 10, it is common to just list the ''number'' of '''1'''s in the repunit; effectively the digit count. The base two repunit primes listed above would be represented as: 2, 3, 5, 7, etc.
Many of these sequences exist on [[oeis:|OEIS]], though they aren't specifically listed as
Some bases have very few repunit primes. Bases 4, 8, and likely 16 have only one. Base 9 has none at all. Bases above 16 may have repunit primes as well... but this task is getting large enough already.
