An Eisenmann number is a number of the form A * 10^B - 1, where A and B are integers such that 0 < A < 10 and B > 0. Some examples of Eisenmann numbers are 19, 29, 39, 49, 499, and 4,999.

An Eisenmann prime is an Eisenmann number which is prime.

Eisenmann primes are my favorite numbers. I have been using a custom made program to search for Eisenmann primes. The program uses the GMP arithmetic library and the Miller-Rabin primality test. For each candidate I test a large number of bases to determine primality with an extremely high degree of confidence. In particular, the number of bases I test for each candidate is the number of binary digits in the candidate.

Below are all of the Eisenmann primes I have found:
