Definition

A Williams number is a natural number of the form (b-1)bn-1 for integers b ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1.

A Williams prime is a Williams number which is prime.

Generalization

Varying both signs, there're four different types of numbers similiar to Williams numbers.

Lists of primes for bases b and n-values can be found here:

Type Category Table [1] Smallest [2]
MM: (b-1)bn-1 here here here[3]
MP: (b-1)bn+1 here here here
PM: (b+1)bn-1 here here here
PP: (b+1)bn+1 here here here [4]

Notes

  1. The table contains only bases which are included as a separate page.
  2. The list of smallest primes of any base is an ASCII file for 2 ≤ b ≤ 1024. For unknown values only the base is given.
  3. The list contains values for 2 ≤ b ≤ 2049.
  4. Values for bases b ≡ 1 mod 3 are always divisible by 3, so not listed here.
