Puzzle 445. Consecutive integers with prime SPF JM Bergot sent the following nice question: Take 197,198,199. The factors extended for 198=2*3*3*11 with sum 19. Since both 197 and 199 are prime, these three consecutive numbers each have the sum of their prime factors being a prime. How many consecutive numbers can you find with this property? Carlos Rivera found an example of 10 consecutive numbers with this property, starting on 896531141. Questions: Can you get larger rows of these?
