S000780

This is the 82nd-degree cyclotomic polynomial. These primes p satisfy the congruence p mod 83 == {0, 2, 5, 6, 8, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 32, 34, 35, 39, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47, 50, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 66, 67, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 79, 80}. The fraction of all primes in this sequence is 20/41. If we plotted n versus primepi(s(n)), then the plotted points would be very close to the line having slope 41/20.
