   • The only known prime repunits are R2, R19, R23, and more recently R317 (discovered by Williams in 1978) and R1031 (discovered by Williams & Dubner in 1986). Moreover, Dubner has determined that for every other prime p less than 10000, the repunit Rp is composite. 1991, Paulo Ribenboim, The Little Book of Big Primes, page 172:
   • 11, 111, and 1,111 are repunits.
