Re: post prime numbers!
7 One of the few primes whose reciprocal is easy to remember.
For 1/7: 2*7=14, 2*14=28, 2*28+1=57 ; that is, keep doubling the denominator till you reach
56 then add the numerator to the 56 to get the last two digits of 1/7 which is a repeating .142857.
Of course 1/2, 1/3, 1/5 and 1/11 aren't bad either.
Writing "pretty" math (two dimensional) is easier to read and grasp than LaTex (one dimensional).
LaTex is like painting on many strips of paper and then stacking them to see what picture they make.

Re: post prime numbers!
11 --- one of the few primes larger than 10 that it is easy to multiply by. To multiply a number, say
3142 by 11 just put a zero in front and behind it, like so 031420 and then add consecutive pairs of
digits (typically from right to left since in some cases there may be carries) and record these sums:
0+3, 3+1, 1+4, 4+2, 2+0 ; that is, 34562. If a sum exceeds 9 then carry 1 to the next sum for example 23572 ---> 0235720 ---> 2 5 8 12 9 2 = 2 5 9 2 9 2; that is, 259292 carrying the 1
from the 12 into the 8 in the next column to the left. With a little practice this can be done quickly
in one's head.

Re: post prime numbers!
Three digit numbers with two 3's and one 1 or with two 1's and one 3. Only one of them is NOT a
prime.

Mathgogocart, 111 is not prime. It is divisible by 1, 3, 37, 111 (ay be incomplete).
