wee discrepancy

Is it possible to be a little more specific regarding the "wee discrepancy" with the F# version? <lang fsharp> printfn "%d" (Seq.item 3999 (Brazilian())) </lang> prints 4618--Nigel Galloway (talk) 17:05, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

OK I think I've found it--Nigel Galloway (talk) 17:37, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
I also noticed the difference two days ago, and I assumed that my REXX version was incorrect and was trying to find what the problem was in my computer program;   I was hoping somebody else would calculate the 100,000th Brazilian number and verify it (or not).     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 19:23, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

some observations not proofs

I tried to check the maximal base needed for an odd brazilian number.
If a number is brazilian the maximal base to test is always less equal number / 3.
If a number is prime and brazilian then the maximal base is square root of number.
Try it online!

Thanks, Mr. Horst (userid Horst.h),   I added (the non-prime hint) to the REXX program and it speeded it up by a factor of two.     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 21:51, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
some more observations by factorization of the numbers:
Brazilian primes always have "1" as digit.MaxBase = trunc(sqrt(prime))-> "111" and therefor are rare 213 out of 86400.
So one need only to test if digit is "1" for prime numbers.
    number = factors    base     repeated digit
         7 = 7         2         1      "111" to base 2

How about nonprime odd numbers?

       111 = 3*37        10         1 also "33" to base 36

I think, taking the factorization of the number leave the highest factor -1 > sqrt( number) as base and the rest as digit.Something to test.

Edit.Some more investigation:
Which numbers are nonbrazilian :-)
As one can see, only primes are possibly nonbrazilian and square numbers of odd primes are nonbrazilian with only one exception found up to 10000 : 11^2
