The old number and the new number were assigned by the phone companies involved, the former by Verizon Wireless, and the latter by Verizon. It turns out that both numbers are ten didits long, including the area code, and they are also both prime numbers. What is the probability of finding two prime numbers by chance from among the ten digit integers? Chuck -- Chuck in Ghent, northeast of Hudson on the Hudson.
