unprimeable

Rfv-sense: That cannot be turned into a prime number by changing just one of its digits to any other digit. DTLHS (talk) 16:09, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

For base 10, these form sequence A192545^[1] in the OEIS. They do not use the term, but Wikipedia does – which does not count for attestation purposes. I found one usable cite: [2].

There is another Google Books hit at [3]. These and the number of reasonable-seeming hits in general web search seem persuasive that this probably is a genuine term. Mihia (talk) 01:03, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Noting also that there are one or two hits with the spelling unprimable, as well as one or two instances of unprimable in the sense "unable to be prepared for work", as in e.g. "unprimable pump". Mihia (talk) 09:59, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
