contents For two coprime positive integers $a$ and $b$,let $π^* (a, b)$ be the number of primes that cannot be represented as $au+bv$, where $u$ and $v$ are nonnegative integers. It is clear that $π^* (a, b)\le π(ab-a-b)$, where $π(x)$ denotes the number of primes not exceeding $x$. In this paper, we prove that $π^* (a, b)\ge 0.04π(ab-a-b)$ and pose following conjecture: $π^* (a, b)\ge \frac 12 π(ab-a-b)$. This conjecture is confirmed for $1\le a\le 10$.
