Again, to be perfectly clear, we are looking for c values that produce a low density of semiprimes when employing Euler's basic polynomial but changing the c values, in the range of x=1 to 10000. Some very early standouts are: c=4 which produces 799 semiprimes; c=6 which produces 532 semiprimes; c=12 which produces only 431 semiprimes; c=18 which produces 364 semiprimes, and c=30 which produces only 320 semiprimes.

Firstly, we should change semiprimes from time to time, where a particular semiprime should only be used in a time interval shorter than the time required to factor an RSA challenge number of a similar length. Secondly, we should use semiprimes that consist of more than 200 decimal digits.

In this paper I will define four sequences of numbers obtained through concatenation, definitions which also use the notion of “sum of the digits of a number”, sequences that have the property to produce many primes, semiprimes and products of very few prime factors.

#### Synonyms

• (product of two primes, not necessarily distinct): biprime

Proposition 4.4. A ring ${\displaystyle \mathbf {R} }$ is semiprime if and only if ${\displaystyle \mathbf {R} }$ is isomorphic to a subdirect product of prime rings.
Let ${\displaystyle f}$ be a semiprime fuzzy ideal of ${\displaystyle S}$ and ${\displaystyle x\in S}$.
