* Rename all Project Euler directories: Reason: The change was done to maintain consistency throughout the directory and to keep all directories in sorted order. Due to the above change, some config files had to be modified: 'problem_22` -> `problem_022` * Update scripts to pad zeroes in PE directories

Project Euler Problem 27
|
||
https://projecteuler.net/problem=27
|
||
|
||
Problem Statement:
|
||
|
||
Euler discovered the remarkable quadratic formula:
|
||
n2 + n + 41
|
||
It turns out that the formula will produce 40 primes for the consecutive values
|
||
n = 0 to 39. However, when n = 40, 402 + 40 + 41 = 40(40 + 1) + 41 is divisible
|
||
by 41, and certainly when n = 41, 412 + 41 + 41 is clearly divisible by 41.
|
||
The incredible formula n2 − 79n + 1601 was discovered, which produces 80 primes
|
||
for the consecutive values n = 0 to 79. The product of the coefficients, −79 and
|
||
1601, is −126479.
|
||
Considering quadratics of the form:
|
||
n² + an + b, where |a| < 1000 and |b| < 1000
|
||
where |n| is the modulus/absolute value of ne.g. |11| = 11 and |−4| = 4
|
||
Find the product of the coefficients, a and b, for the quadratic expression that
|
||
produces the maximum number of primes for consecutive values of n, starting with
|
||
n = 0.
