Project Euler Problem 50: https://projecteuler.net/problem=50
|
|
|
|
Consecutive prime sum
|
|
|
|
The prime 41, can be written as the sum of six consecutive primes:
|
|
41 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13
|
|
|
|
This is the longest sum of consecutive primes that adds to a prime below
|
|
one-hundred.
|
|
|
|
The longest sum of consecutive primes below one-thousand that adds to a prime,
|
|
contains 21 terms, and is equal to 953.
|
|
|
|
Which prime, below one-million, can be written as the sum of the most
|
|
consecutive primes?
