S000781

This is the 88th-degree cyclotomic polynomial. These primes p satisfy the congruence p mod 89 == {0, 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 19, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 35, 38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 51, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 66, 70, 74, 75, 76, 82, 83, 86}. The fraction of all primes in this sequence is 5/11. If we plotted n versus primepi(s(n)), then the plotted points would be very close to the line having slope 11/5.
