You'll notice that most of the arms have 0 primes. That's because this setup has 12 arms, and 8 of the arms are all divisible by either 2 or 3. Will test out other radial values to see if anything cool pops up tomorrow.

Edit: Tested some other arm counts, and it's a really interesting. If the number of arms is prime, that arm (say 7 arms, arm #7) only has a single prime. All other arms are smattered with them. Composite numbers really cut a lot of arms out of the picture, depending on what the factors are, those arms and their multiples will have no primes.

Its hard for me to get over 51 not being instinctively a prime for some reason. Interesting how the prime existence arms are 180 from each other. Something mathematical about that I think. I should pray about it.

Any number that’s divisible by 3 can be identified by adding the individual numbers making it and seeing if that number is divisible by three. And that’s recursive of course.

51= 5+1 = 6 , 6 is divisible by 3

3885267 = (we can ignore adding 3,6 or 9) 8 + 8 +5+2+7 = 30 = 3 + 0 = 3, 3 is divisible by 3
