| contents | The prime number 357686312646216567629137 is notable because of the unusual property that it remains prime successively on removing the left digit until there are no remaining digits. We explore here the distributions of the number of left prime truncations of integers and of the number of irreducible truncations of polynomials with coefficients over a finite field, focusing on the proportion among all $\ell$-digit numbers or polynomials, their variance, and the maximal proportion. |
