==Generalization==
A '''generalized Woodall number base ''b''''' is defined to be a number of the form ''n'' × ''b''<sup>''n''</sup>&nbsp;−&nbsp;1, where ''n''&nbsp;+&nbsp;2&nbsp;>&nbsp;''b''; if a prime can be written in this form, it is then called a '''generalized Woodall prime'''.

The smallest value of ''n'' such that ''n'' × ''b''<sup>''n''</sup> − 1 is prime for ''b'' = 1, 2, 3, ... are<ref name="tripod">[http://harvey563.tripod.com/GWlist.txt List of generalized Woodall primes base 3 to 10000]</ref>
