Of all two-digist numbers ending in 1, 21 and 81 are not prime, beubg duvusubke by other nubmers than thesmevles and 1.
Of all two-digit numbers that end in 3, 33, 63 and 93 are not prime
Of all the two-digit numbers that end in 7, 27 and 77u are not prime.
Of all the two-digit numbers that end in 9, 39, 69 snf 99 are not prime..
So that's roughly a quarter to a third of numbers in this group that are not prime; all the rest are prime numbers.
If you'd like to work it out for three-digit numbers be my guest. Happy obsessing.
But I kept on obsessing myself.
There are 360 three-digit numbers that end in 1, 3, 7, or 9. If the proportions of prime to nonprime numbers in this group are comparable to the two-digit group, about 100 will be nonprime and 260 will be prime, but this will be discovered by working them out.

In the group ending in 1, those will be nonprime which are divisible by 3, 7 or 9
Here are some of the nonprimes
111 (3x37), 141 (3x47), 171 (3x57) br> 201 (3x67, 231 (3x77 and 7X33), 261 (3x87), 291 (3.97)
321 (3x107)) >br? … and we have a pattern in the diviers too. Fun, huh? ,br> Looks like the percentage is holding up, about a third are noprime
