The prime number 357686312646216567629137 is notable in some recreational math circles because of the unusual property that it remains prime successively on removing the left digit until there are no remaining digits. In this talk we will explore the more general phenomena of prime truncations of integers and irreducible truncations of polynomials, examining the distribution of these prime truncations. Joint work with Matilde Lalín.
