Erdős problem 291
More generally, if the leading digit of in base is then . There is in fact a necessary and sufficient condition: a prime divides if and only if divides the numerator of , where is the leading digit of in base . This can be seen by writing and observing that the right-hand side is congruent to modulo . (The previous claim about follows immediately from Wolstenholme's theorem.)
